a friend once made a very good analogy of mirroring."If two persons come out of a building on fire,one with a clean face whilst the other ash covered,who do you think would wash their face first?" Answer - "The one with the cleaner face!" Why you might ask- simply put ,if others are a reflection,it is never clearer than in this instance ,when the one with the blackened soot filled face looking at the clean faced person,assumes ,"my face must be clean too." My exploration continues as every time I see myself judging a quality I dislike in another,I jump at the possibility that ,it just might exist in my dormant character,only I fear acknowledging the same. 18.9.09

"Please Let me Fly.."
Harry, my sister always used to quote, "If you love something,set it free,If it comes back to you ,it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was!" Watching a mother daughter relationship is akin to a bird leaving the nest for the first time. If the bird flies away, there is a possibility of loss sufferred by the Mama bird, whilst on the other hand, if the bird never flaps its tiny wings and attempts a maiden voyage, it might never learn how to fly?
