Broken Mirror


Yesterday morning
I shattered
my passenger side rear view mirror 
It threw me for a loop
My day was messed up
out of whack
scattered
challenging
unsettled
shifting

I have never broken a mirror
skillfully eluding
7 years of bad luck
I suppose it was time
to shatter
my viewpoint
 pay attention
let go
of the past
whether I liked it
or not

Sybolically speaking
a mirror reflects
what our eyes cannot see
while looking forward
to the future
In metaphor
it hints at
deeper roots
 actions
the world's viewpoint
of your inner portrait

many times
mirrors
distort
the
truth

The Universe has sent
a message
It says...
shatter your old
self image
let go of the reflection
of your past
it no longer applies
rework
your perspective
it is no longer
your truth
pick up the pieces
throw them out
replace
your gaze
with a new
outlook
and create the
vision
that you want
to become

change
your
direction
by
looking
forward

I am listening
and now
I see

Unfortunate that you ended up breaking the mirror. But I love the way you have turned it around to a positive!

I am in this exact same place right now. I did not break a mirror, but I am examining my life in the same way.
Thank you for this.
