Sometimes things are not as they truly appear. Although to the innocent bystander a puzzle or maze might seem easy to solve at first sight. The deeper you sink into the solving the the more expanse the possibilities. I felt my teen years were loaded with dilemmas and rubric cube-like situations like this. Whether it was seemingly endless dramas with the Gorham girls and beyond, a few Mayfield Street realities or some of my Frye Hall clandestine meetings, my teenage years were froth with classic innocence and dubious choices that I view with great suspicion, now that the great teacher-- experience-- is with me firsthand. We call it Life!

Very well said!
ReplyDeleteYou so often give us something to 'reflect' on, Birdman.
ReplyDeleteI like Life me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous picture... intriguing words. You should write a memoir-- it sounds like you have some great stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words. Full of life.
ReplyDeleteLove the reflections. Awesome.
Sometime life looks foggy until something good happens and when it does, life can be fair. Goodness elevates while evil sinks. Great words and wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. I like the colors. There is a meme for reflections. This would fit there.
ReplyDeleteI like this reflection but I can't help wonder about the Gorham Girls ;-) It would be an interesting exercise to write some of these stories down.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love the blog!
