As we venture into what feels increasingly like a “Through the Looking Glass” world, we would do well to remember the key messages from Lewis Carroll’s work. Our reality reflects the world - but not precisely. Life is a chess game where most of us arrive as pawns but don’t have to stay that way. Nonsense and logic can coexist. We are all questioning our identity, and that transformation is a journey. Language is arbitrary, and we all use and understand it differently as we dance between fate and free will.
