Prompt #71 Reflection

1/24/22

I love a line from Helen's "Between the Branches," a reflection after a day in nature: 

Does the reflection tell the truth? 

Since we all just spent a day at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary taking in nature and seeing it through the reflections in the tannin-stained water,  I thought it was a perfect time to make this question the prompt.  

Looks can certainly be deceiving; our brains don't always interpret what our eyes take in accurately. 

Think about the possibilities of this multiple meaning word.  Your response doesn't have to be about a literal reflection in the water or in the mirror. It can be about a personal reflection or one imagined through a character in a fictional piece. It can be a combination of both. 

Does the reflection always tell the truth? Whose truth?
