A mirror decorated for Christmas 2016, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
 


The napkins on the table
And paintings on the wall
Are pictured in the mirror,
The glass that sees them all.
 
But mirrors cannot picture
The realm within the soul,
Where Spirit speaks to spirit,
And crushed things are made whole.

    A mirror is vicious with the truth but luckily only reflects part of you.

    It’s heartening to know that crushed things can be made whole…!

    I especially like this poem. We are not merely all that is reflected.

    Lovely, Lovely. So very fine. Mirrors have their limits, but hopefully humans do not. Bravo!
