I think part of my process of cleaning the dust from the mirror involves cutting myself -- and, as a result, cutting others -- a break, and vice versa.<BR/><BR/>Hi RNI,<BR/>Good to hear from you! I'm just hanging on for dear life. This ride takes some wild hairpin turns!<BR/><BR/>Hi Anu,<BR/>I know *precisely* what you mean. Whenever I read something that resonates within me, I want to acknowledge that somehow, and I can't always do so. Words sometimes are so useless.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15133620064728357184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19108210.post-1135760186120323762005-12-28T03:56:00.000-05:002005-12-28T03:56:00.000-05:00I've been around water my whole life and "knew" th...I've been around water my whole life and "knew" that water is wet, and yet now to experience that in a whole new way is delightful. To use your analogy from the comment you left at my blog, the moon was always there. I just didn't see it, and it took something pretty dramatic to reveal it to me. And I still don't know if I see it fully. I see it as I am now. (The moon is a mirror, after all :)).<BR/><BR/>This "mirror" business works in so many ways, from the subtle to the obvious. I've always felt the lines between myself and others being blurry (the "mystic" part of myself, I guess) but had a lot of self-protective stuff going on with it, carried a lot of "tightness"(tightening up against what I was feeling, against the experience of being in a body, of having to deal with other people, maybe of just being human.) It's a weird thing to feel so connected to everyone else and yet so isolated at the same time. <BR/><BR/>Somehow something's shifted for me. I can more easily see the mirror in others, without triggering the resistance and the fear and the need to control. Mostly just really easing up on myself. We're all imperfect beings, and wonder of wonder, that includes me. Realizing that opens up all sorts of possibilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
