While shaving this morning I realized how tedious and difficult it would be to shave without a mirror. While I know that the body is merely the expression of the One Self, I do like to present a fresh face to the world each day, and remove the little whiskers by shaving.

A metaphysical philosophy is that everyone is a mirror for us, and that we see in others what we see in ourselves. I choose to look with eyes of Love and forgiveness, and know that all of the actions I see in the physical world are the manifestation of our One Self. When I see the silly little actions of the ego self, I laugh them away, forgiving them and myself at the same time. There IS only Love, and ALL actions and events merely demonstrate that Love.

And I realized just how tedious and difficult it would be to find all of the little whiskers of mistaken thought ("sin"), of errors in belief, without the "mirrors" of others. And how they help me present to the world the clean face of the Son of God.

And I realized how blessed I am, to have so many wonderful, loving mirrors in my life, to show me the pureness of Love each day.
