Mirrors...
JANUARY 18, 2007
Sometimes, I will stay with the same [Grace Card](http://www.cherylrichardson.com/)
for a couple of days...
Especially when there is a theme
that I feel has more for me to explore.
Today was such a day,
for instead of pulling a new card,
I looked further into yesterday's card
which was **Mirror**..
The card reads:
_"Learn to see God's presence_
_in everyone you meet."_
What a shift in awareness this is... to see the Divine
in everyone you come into contact with... that means everyone...
What would happen if we all did this?
What would happen if just I did this?
For some reinforcement of this concept the Universe helped me today with some great synchronicities.
First, while searching the house for all available buttons
for my button collection,
I cam across these,
sealed all together,
waiting for me to discover them...
I broke open the bag and released the contents in amazement...
Little bits of mirror, bead, and button,
reflecting back to me my current passion
of mosaics and embellishment
finding their way into my home,
I don't know how long ago...
And, the question comes to me of what happens
when we see ourselves in the mirror?
What happens when we are the ones we meet?
Do we see the Divine?
Then, while working on my website,
I clicked on a file to open and the computer did a funny thing,
pulling up the following poem,
instead of where I was planning to go...
_Where are the words_
_for this movement in all directions…_
_I cross this threshold_
_and touch that which has been forbidden,_
_taboo…_
_Within this sacred circle_
_I step into my numinous self,_
_into this mystery unfolding_
_and lay down my sword,_
_my warrior self,_
_my goddess self,_
_I lay down all my masks…_
_With one eye inward_
_and one eye outward_
_I see my face in your face_
_my hands in your hands_
_I dance the vast space around us_
_and in us,_
_this mystery unknowable_
_the darkness of our light,_
_this story that whispers in the cracks_
_of the wooden floor, the sky beneath our feet_
_opening to the earth of our bodies,_
_to the small and precious, ever growing place of becoming…_
