Mirrors and Mirages

Summer has started here and hills are not far from where I live. One afternoon as I was going to pick my son from Crèche travelling through a hilly road I realized I witnessed a mirage. Co-incidentally I was also checking my rear view mirror at the same time. A thought flashed through my mind "mirrors and mirages" so similar yet so different.


Mirrors tell us what us what we don't want to see. Mirages show us what we can't see.

Without light mirages don't exist; without light mirrors stand no appeal.

Mirrors and Mirages both reflect be it an image or oasis.

Mirrors takes every image of the onlooker; Mirage creates an image for every onlooker only limited to their imagination.

Blending in and flowing apart, sometimes a mirror, sometimes a mirage and some times me. Only so much to indite from my own reflections.
