mirror mirage

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath....now let it out slowly. Relax.

Now imagine that you're looking in a mirror. What do you see? Are you pleased with the reflection? If your answer was yes then please discontinue reading this article. If you are even slightly displeased with the glass in front of you, by all means read on! This one is for you.

Now imagine that by some strange violation of the laws of nature, the mirror has transformed into a simple sheet of glass. And what do you think? Out of all the people in the world, the most beautiful is on the other side staring back at you. There is surprise-even shock on her face. You stare at her in astonishment for what seems like an eternity.

Finally you force yourself into action. Slowly you lift your hand and whatch as the woman on the other side raises hers. You had meant to touch the glass, but by its own volition your hand reaches your face and touches your cheek. Your mind races when you see the woman before you going through the same moves. Her face is now nearly stunning in its shocked and strangly curious expression. Slowly understanding is coming to her brilliant eyes.

You tap the glass. She is doing the same! It must be true! The glass is a mirror and you have become the most beautiful creature on the face of the earth! You are shouting with glee as you jump up with the intention of dancing the most beautiful jig (if there is such a thing) when suddenly you jerk to your senses. It was a dream.

You must have relaxed a little too much.
