"A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror." – Ken Keyes Jr.
This quote spoke to me on many levels, especially today on the 11th anniversary of 9/11. I feel that if we could all embody this ideal (and yes, it's an ideal) that we truly COULD reflect our best selves to one another and see our best selves IN one another. I wonder what a world that could be...
I chose this image of me at about 6 years old brushing my hair in my mirror all on my own. I was studying my appearance, my image for one of the first times that I could remember. My mother thought my concentration warranted a photo. I like to believe that my mirrored self was just about to reflect a smile :P.
