This is one of those words with multiple meanings and uses. My Nica kid always asked why does English have so many words that sound the same but have different meanings and uses. I actually like the word reflect because of the two most common uses of the word. To reflect is to “cast back…
I don’t understand forever. Everyone I know has had a birth. I now know lots of people who once lived but have died. Forever is endless. It is continuous. When all that I see and know has a beginning and ending, it’s hard to wrap my head around eternity. What I know about it comes…
