    What an amazing photo. It’s so intense and there is so much to explore. What is truly amazing is how you and your reflection are the same but different. Somehow your reflection looks more at ease, less stern. It’s like these 2 sides of you come together in your heart.

    Thank you for coming to my SPC and for your thoughtful comments. I’m so glad it led me here.
