Smoke And Mirrors – Cain, Edward Terrant
We often go to the mirror to correct something about ourselves. We go through and assess our waists, butts, packs and jaws. We make sure our teeth are clean and every hair is in the right place. Although we desperately want to be chosen, we fail to choose ourselves.
What if we looked at our own reflections as if they were souls looking for contact – like us? In our eyes, we behold the pain we accumulate along the way to our adult bodies, as well as our desires to be seen.
Stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself, “Am I willing to love myself exactly as I am?” And this question is potent because our lack of love is not due to the scarcity of love, but to our own resistance to it.
