Only a fraction of this photograph portrays the real woman as most of it is her reflection. All sides of her are present yet a complete image of her is absent. She is submerged so deep within her own reality it is impossible for her to see outside of it. Sometimes we look too deeply within ourselves as we block out the big picture because excessive introspection prohibits us from looking at the situation as a whole and, it turn, worsens it. The image melts reality and fiction together, preventing one from distinguishing the real imagery from the reflection.
The Great Blue Heron holds special meaning in Native medicine, where it represents self-reflection:
As it stands very still in the water, it sends reflections of itself to itself, providing insight into one’s unique purpose in life, mirroring ‘what is’, and inviting quests for understanding how its own path fits within the whole.
The heron symbolizes the journey of self-realization, beginning with the development of the skills to build inner strength and achieve certainty of purpose, the courage to delve deep, and the resulting joy of discovery - of awakening.

I have been in Minneapolis for almost a week, attending a conference, along with a visit with a few old friends, plus taking photos for the event. This guy was amazing - 84 years old and going strong! Son if a shaercropper; what a history he must have. Dr. John Perkins
When you pause and think about yourself, what do you actually think about?
Is it how you look right now, your health, or your recent achievements? Is it usually about all the bad, or all the good?
The only real times I really think about myself is when things are going really badly. It's kind of a quick check to see if you're OK even though what's going around you is so bad and a search for something that's still awesome to look forward to.
Self Reflection - who do you see when you look in the mirror? Who are you looking at? Who is looking back at you? Who are you looking for?
