.....they merely reflect
what is in and around them!
Here are two bodies of water on the same piece of land just
separated by several feet of roadway.
They both contain the same kind of water. Both contain water from melted snow, runoff,
seepage and rainfall. All comprised of
the chemical formula H20; a molecule that contains one part oxygen
and two parts hydrogen.
So why is the same so different?
When it comes to water in a lake or pond there is a combination
of factors that can influence color. The
lake or pond surface can reflect conditions of the sky.
Dissolved particles may make water look more clear and blue
or brown. Suspended particles reflect
light back to us and may make water look more muddy brown, cloudy green, or
gray. Nutrient load, algae growth and chemicals can change the color of water.
And just like water, people are the same but
different.
We have a similar chemical formula that makes us all look
like people, but what is floating around in our minds makes us so
different.
We are a unique combination
of cultural backgrounds, life experiences, personalities, dreams, goals, and
challenges that contribute to how we reflect life. What we read, what we choose to belief, and what surrounds
us can also influence the way we reflect life.
Both ponds are pretty even though they reflect different colors. What beauty are you reflecting?
