I can easily relate to this. I have a place of reflection too, my boyhood home in an isolated area, that I often spend two nights at by myself with my wifeʻs blessings. She prefers the comforts of home.

A very solid presentation. Reflection is usually 'Soul Searching' and leads to doing or being the best you can be. So, we should always find time for that sort of contemplation. Well done. A good contest entry.

    Ralf, over the years have been able to retreat at some very special retreats locations that I call "thin spaces", but personally, nature tops all the them, as an especially "thin space" where I can commune with the Divine.

A very well-written twenty five syllable poem about reflection in many aspects of life is needed to keep focused on the future to determine where you find from and where you are heading

An interesting poem! While it was short, the message was significant, as was the imagery used in combination to get it across. It is often a good thing to look back on memories of better days!

This is an excellent entry for the twenty-five syllables contest
with a nice play on the duplicity of "reflecting."
Images, altered by the soft ripples of water and time.
Well done.
Best wishes in the contest.

The author's words are inspiring, interesting and creative. I liked
the way the author reflects upon the past. The poem flows and
connects well. The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.
Have a great weekend!
