The oldest mirror on Earth, reflections in waters.

Long ago, when man first glimpsed himself in the water, seeing his own reflection, he first believed he was looking into the face of another, not a reflection of himself.
Looking up at clouds, man first looked up and tried to touch the sky but failed in his attempts so he began to realize that the spirits of the sky were the birds of the air.
When a seed was planted in the ground, for the first time, ancient man saw new growth from that seed, so from that point on, the idea of an afterlife from new seeds became the philosophy of life after death so either man was buried in the ground so his soul would rise up and become renewed, or the body in some cases was burned, and the smoke was seen as his spirit, being set free.
Looking up at the clouds, man saw images and believed in angels, flying high up in heaven and that is why looking down from a high place, was like being able to see things as the gods themselves saw things, from on high.
Why do I speculate all of this? Because it all makes so much sense.

I am inspired by my faith in the nature of humanity. I think we all aspire to a higher power. We are confined to our limits but our hopes and aspirations go way beyond that.

@lookatdesktop , yes, so true and I appreciate that! I go much beyond that in my imagination as how the living thing was created?

All things God created and made good were realized by ordinary people with vision and good faith. Symbolism plays a large part in putting things into human perspective. After all , we are all only human, but that is a good thing.
