A Look In The Mirror

A Look In The Mirror

Existence is the perfect mirror of ourselves,
of our own being, constantly creating
the external experience of ourselves.

If we are anxious and fearful it will give us more
to be anxious and fearful about.
If we think life is unfair, then everyday existence
will dish up another dose of unfairness.

There are those whose only experience
is a continuous unfolding of beauty.
Each moment a new revelation of
the unfathomable beauty of existence
bubbling up out of the mystery
into the radiant light of their own soul.

The joy of it is that we can all choose
to notice the beauty contained in each moment
then over time let that beauty become us.
Changing ourselves by changing
what we see in the mirror.
