Morning reflection

It was another glorious day today, made even more so for me on my walk into work.

The river was so calm, the water so smooth, that the reflections on the water were amazing.

Smooth as silk


There are normally quite strong currents in the river, so even when there is no wind, the surface of the water can be quite rippled. Today there was none of that. The water was totally flat and the reflections were just spectacular. Thank goodness I have a good camera on my phone! The scenes were just too good to miss! I love the fact that even in the heart of the city, you can find beauty if you open your eyes.

It also got me thinking...going all introspective!!!

Here's what I came up with....if you want to get a true reflection of who you are, you need to focus and calm all the ripples in your mind. You need still waters to reflect the real, true you. There is no use in trying to understand what's going on inside, if your mind is confused with trivia...ripples.

Yet another reason to get up early (Mags...take note!) and just sit quietly for a while! These things just make so much sense when you think about it!!!

So, I guess today I am grateful for still waters.

Gratefully yours.

  1. Still waters run deep! Don't talk to me about getting up early...locked myself out of the flat when I got up for a swim at 6am...dumkopf! x

  2. You also need to have a calm mind to be able to see any situation as it really is - ie without all your own 'stuff' causing ripples!
