The Mirror – Dipping Into Light

If a mirror ever makes you sad, you should know that it does not know you.
— Kabir

Every man carries with him through life a mirror, as unique and impossible to get rid of as his shadow.
— W. H. Auden

I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have – I can reflect light into the dark places of this world – into the black places in the hearts of men – and change somethings in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.
— Robert Fulghum
