Objects in the mirror may be further away than they appear.
If you stare into a mirror by candlelight, The Devil will appear. This one I know to be true.
If you want to view your home town in a new light, look at familiar streets in mirror. This I also know to be true. Word of advice though, stay in the car and use the rear-view. Do not walk backwards. That way leads to misunderstandings.
We are living in a time of smoke and mirrors. Only the discerning truly know or think they know. Peace be with you.

DeleteMirrors are deceptive we are visualised in them the wrong way round.

ReplyDeleteIt takes you physically and mentally one step away from it.
Works on prints too
A good potter friend of mine unknowingly bought a left handed wheel and couldn't understand why he could not throw any more. Prints- and castings - are always seen through Alice's looking glass.
