Prayer Is the Humble Doctor

I gaze into the Mirror of Love
hoping to see an added brightness
in reflection, ourselves often kept
in dark when it comes to measures
of inner light – one sees where the
eyes are...they and their glasses tempered
by spirit's silvered backings.... Alice
went into the mirror and traveled – 
Freud bounced off his image and
back into touch...Christ shattered
the glass of separation, passing
resurrected beyond, while others lost
in man's heavy fragments...sidestepping slivers
of transforming possibilities.....

I pray....for prayer the humble doctor....

What a wonderful choice of metaphor - the mirror - as a humble healing physician. This is so beautifully crafted with images of shards, slivers, reflections and many others flowing through each line. Thank you for sharing this reflection of your prayerful insights! Happy Easter!

Yes, Alice in Wonderland did not deal with shards of glass. She was detoured by Queen if hearts & her knaves. Eyes can be disciplined to sense more than usual ... Heart-teansformation ( Romans 12: 1-2) is harder to "see" but palpable. Shalom shalom dear Father DeMino.bthx
