Reflecting On A Reflection/Reality or Facade?
by David LaPlantz ·
Bob Seger said it so succinctly in the song, “Against The Wind,” “Wished I didn’t know now, what I didn’t know then.”
Looking into the clear water, the reflection was one he did not recognize. Was this a dream, an alternate reality or possibly a reality unfamiliar to his eyes? Traveling down life’s windy road positions many chuck holes, downed trees & limbs and any number of other curious obstacles from which to learn. Some lessons seem clear, while others may be slightly out of focus. No matter how 20/20 we are, can we (do we) really see?
Sometimes he loved those simple, early times, being innocent, being dumb to the world, but honest in his heart. Can we ever get back to that part of our lives? Do we really want to go back? Is going back a mistake? Or is it possible to link then and now and create a new way of being, thinking and living? Somehow, he knows in his heart the answer is yes…….
