! In The Steps Of Rumi 86: The Mirror

This mirror. She has stood in front of it for many minutes; this; that; finally asked the mirror silently its opinion. The mirror agreed with the perfection that she saw in herself now, in front of it.. Now she leaves the room. The mirror has nothing to reflect. While it’s reflecting nothing, steal up to it from the side, admire it. Maybe praise it by polishing it. Wonder, how it is that it has an in front of it, yet no behind it. Wonder how it is that it never lies, always tells the truth, yet agrees with all we see in it.. Wonder too, how it brings all who stand in front of it, to silence.. bestows this rare blessing upon all, which is beyond the ability of men, of books.. Somewhere where ideas emerge from nowhere into somewhere, then roam anywhere and everywhere, mind and mirror were given a secret which they share.
