Reflection 1

Could be a somewhat early for this but here's a bit of what I mean.

So Monday I spent the morning glazing and sealing fake rocks for under the fruit trees in my yard. How ironic... fake rocks for landscaping. Okay, well 1) they were free 2) they were going in the landfill if I didn't take them so GOOD; A) I'm not taking rocks from their home to populate my suburban environment. B) I'm keeping them from ending up in our considerably overfilled dumps.

Ah... but they're fake and I'm using prodigious amounts of noxious chemical to protect them from the elements. Thus - BAD; What kind of unknown crapadoodle will be leaching into the soil near my beautiful fruit trees...

Nonetheless, it doesn't escape me that if this the "As Above" so to speak, the "So Below" begs the question "How much time do I spend glazing and sealing parts of my personality that, while genuine, I do not necessarily display in their real proportion?" Read - how much curmudgeon, marshmallow, pessimist, comedian, monk et al do I live accurately and what do I exaggerate for my own protection? And further... is it GOOD or BAD....

MAYBE...

I aspire.
