“Art is not a reflection of reality, it is the reality of a reflection.” Jean-Luc Goddard
The Window Is Not A Window When the window is not a window but, in fact a mirror, though not a mirror; I see reflections, and yet, in the same moment, I can see through while seeing everything reflected. Don't tell me about the physics, I know the physics, it's not that (even though it is that), what captures me is the overlay, there I am superimposed with the sunset, the garden, I am sitting with trees, I am flying in clouds, everything all at once.

This is wonderful. It reminds me of the other night, I plugged in the string lights in our mudroom, and my youngest (he’s 2) was mesmerized. He went out to see them and started pointing out the windows, the door, anything glass, saying “there’s more lights outside!” Then I was mesmerized. Children aren’t limited by physics or beliefs.❤️✨

I love his open mind, yes, children aren’t limited so able to be open. Thank you for sharing that delightful slice of life.

(These lights outside were the reflections of the lights inside, but to him all he saw was lights.)

A window is not a window… I liked the title, with lots of hidden meanings.
