They are for fun and are fiction. However, some might suggest a way of seeing what you might not normally notice in everyday life. So often, more is happening around us than we might believe, but we have our own responsibilities that require our attention and that usurp time simply for contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt never hurts to be vigilant of our surroundings and to notice the small, keen details that are always a part of existence. Sometimes we miss the wondrous beauty that is everywhere, or unusual presences, or out of balance emotions - the complexities that are interwoven prisms everywhere we look if only we actually take the time to see them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the stories in \u003cem\u003eReflections\u003c\/em\u003e are an unassuming nod to science fiction, some are about the cyclical aspect of Nature, some are about people and personalities, and some are about what we might consider to be unassuming parts of daily life that nevertheless can take sudden sharp turns perhaps when we least expect them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories are generally quiet and unpretentious, but a few can nevertheless be a little startling at times. There is a general ecosystemic approach to all the stories, and that serves to help link them even though they might not seem to be similar to each other in any other way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonya Franson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029593932016,"sku":"9780985510985","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780985510985_p0.jpg?v=1763897478","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780985510985","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
