I had control of the reflections…I was oblivious to the winds coming my way…the reflections became fractured, broken, confusing…calamity ensued…now what?
Actually, I propped an old mirror up against a fence, outside. Unusually strong East winds hit the area. I had seen the forecast and high wind advisory. The winds came right up against that slatted fence and smash, down went the large mirror. Bad luck, I’d say by the morning light! Now I have a mess to clean up. Typical!
‘A thrill of thunder in my hair:
Though blackening clouds be plain,
Still I am stung and startled
By the first drop of the rain:
Romance and pride and passion pass
And these are what remain.’
G.K. Chesterton, A Second Childhood (passage)
