Mirrors

Mirrors

I have a love hate relationship with mirrors.
I love when they reflect
what I want to see.
I hate them when they reflect
what I dislike in myself.
Mirrors are not always
those pieces of reflective glass.
Sometimes they are people,
like the ones who get on your last nerve.
The one’s who have qualities and characteristics
which you want to be critical of.
Sometimes when I am ready to
push myself to that next level
I make a list of people and what
they do that grates on me.
then I make it about me and
I cringe when I see
how what I dislike about others,
at least most of the time,
is something I need to work on
myself.
It’s easier to see the parts of me I love
reflected in others,
than the qualities I don’t
mirrored back to me.
At the same time, I am grateful
for my mirrors
because they help me grow and evolve
and become the best me I can be.

The Mirror

I look in the mirror
and sometimes I love
what I see and
there are other times
I don’t
However, there has never been
a time when I hated
what I saw so much
that I could slash my wrist
or poison myself
or want to leave this world behind.

When I look in the mirror
what I see is a reflection
of the Divine,
the one who created me,
the one who designed me
the one who tells me
you are beautiful just as you are.

When I look in the mirror
what I see is a reflection
of the Divine
of the one who is love,
is about healing
is about grace
is about wisdom and
is about listening.

When I look in the mirror
I pray for those who
do not see what I see
or feel what I feel.
I pray for those who see
something so painful
that leaving feels better
than staying

When I look in the mirror,
I remember to pray
for those
I know,
those I do not,
those who are whole and
those who are hurting,
those who have asked
for prayer
and those who have not
because we are all
a reflection
of the Divine
