Photo Essay :"The Art of Reflection"


I think people spend far too little time reflecting these days. Taking time to reflect on our lives allows us to see our lives in clearer perspective and hence tutors us in living out lives intentionally.

My guess is, in today's world where many things have become increasingly subjective, even moral and ethical values, reflection has lost it's meaning. The foundation for reflection to take place - moral principles of what is good, right, worthy and honourable is often seen as conservative and is increasingly being replaced by calls to live life freely (there is no right or wrong, just alternative ways of doing things or living life). Many times too, in the name of progress, whether economically, socially or philosophically.

Yet, it is precisely because we live in such a time that reflection is all the more important. Are you living your life intentionally? Start today.
