The Cherub -- Reflection

I was walking around northern Kentucky -- just over the river from Cincinnati, when I discovered this little garden between two shotgun houses. I had the odd sense that someone was staring at me. Then the mirror caught my eye -- and the cherub looking directly at me (so it seemed) disarmed me. I realized that the Cherub would not see himself through the mirror either, but a reflection of me looking at him instead. He must have been as shocked by the event as I was! I snapped photos from a couple of different angles, but this specific one haunted me for a number of days until I did something about it. That something is this PhotoSinryu.

Reflection Points: This PhotoSinryu invites us to look at ourselves as others might. What values do we reflect by our appearance, our words, and our actions? Are these the ones we most want to reflect? What re-actions do we instill in others by these choices? How might little changes we might make to our appearance, words, and actions in public change how we are perceived?
