The beauty and the mirror
“The beauty you see in me is a reflection of you.”
Rumi
When I look in the mirror, I see myself,
But sometimes, when I look deeper,
I see you and everyone else.
When beauty surrounds us,
It already exists within, likewise with the ugly,
What we avoid in us we cast on others,
But it only unveils what lays underneath;
As we are projecting from scars,
Buried by Ego and our demons.
Let go of fear and sit with your shadows,
Talk to them and ask who they really are;
What’s behind all that anger and guilt?
You’ll know the answer, just quiet your mind;
The vibration you give out,
It’s the frequency you receive;
We’re ascending towards the Source;
No judgment, but a better understanding,
For the world is a mirror,
And we are the reflection in it.
