This was a hard one for me. I had just written a friend ( who is very end of life) if he thought the heart and the soul were mirrors of each other. My friend said he thought the heart and the soul were both gifts from God. The heart to connect with others and the soul to connect with God. I like your use of the word/concept of reflection. Seems deeper that a simple mirror. Maybe. There is spinning to be done.

“The heart to connect with others and the soul to connect with God.” - I like that. I used the initial looking through a mirror as a way of trying to see the world as others see it. Most of my dyslexia is flipped images, letters and numbers. Then Stan as Drew’s reflection came about as another way to get Drew to see a different form of reality.

Dyslexia must run in the Akins family....one of the reason I began making art, so much easier to draw something than to try and spell it!

I know Steve had some dyslexia issues in our little clan. Not sure about Lanita.
