Find something New!


“Mirrors have three purposes. 

To show you who you are. 

To show you who you were. 

And to show you who you want to be.” 

― Dan Pearce


When you reach the point in life
where i have, a solid 55,
should you already know 
who you want to be?
Or are we a continuous
piece of work?
a life unfolding, ever changing,
bringing new things with each new day?
I like to believe that's true,
that each of us continues to strive
for something else, something new,
something that brings us peace, 
or joy, or happiness. 

Get out there, and find something new today! :)

Mirrors


“Silence. How long it lasted, I couldn't tell. 
It might have been five seconds, it might have been a minute. 
Time wasn't fixed. It wavered, stretched, shrank. 
Or was it me that wavered, stretched, and shrank in the silence? 
I was warped in the folds of time, like a reflection in a fun house mirror.” 
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

i bought this mirror for myself
for my birthday.
i hung it on the wall
and had forgotten to use it as a prop!

As for the quote, if you've never read
any Murakami, you should! 
My favorite is Kafka on the Shore;
he also has a book of short stories
called "After the Quake", along with 
several other titles.
