Mirror hanging on the Wall
Mirrors me through it
Situating the Self there that I see
As Myself, that I
Never see in the ordinary
Run of the Day.
That makes me wonder
About this I, which I
Do not normally do.
Self and Not Self
Duality : It is
Now brought to the Mind
Somewhere there, then, Mirror, Mirror show
Me what Real, is behind, anchoring it, All
