Mirror Images
With mirror images such as this scene from a bay of Lake Athabasca, the eye and the mind are often drawn into the fuzzier version of the image, one that because of its fuzziness or numinosity hints at something more. One learns that life is not always what it appears to be on the surface. The concrete realities presented through the senses of sight, touch, taste, feel and hearing often deceive more than they illuminate truths. Perhaps it is because of our experiences of being deceived that we either retreat into money, numbers or words as the ultimate truth; or we begin to search for a fuller truth by looking at the fuzzy edges, one that is more satisfying to the soul.
