New York city

What do you see when you look into a mirrored glass?  Here in an image I've posted from New York city  you see the mirror like reflection of a building across the street on the exterior of a high rise condo.  Since I live in a rural setting, there are no mirror like exteriors of high rise condos nearby, the only mirrors nearby are inside my house or attached to my car.

Mirrors reflect a sense of yourself back to you.  They let you know where you are and what you see around you.  But how about looking within yourself?  That is something a mirror cannot do.  When you look inside yourself it is always a new journey, it is always a surprise.

In art, you are sometimes inspired by your inner vision.  In yoga asana practice you contact your inner awareness of the self.  A different kind of mirror is used here.  Your life experiences, filtered by your senses, present themselves as raw inspiration for new visual creations, or for new bodily movements.  Sense, exploration, it's a new world today.

Trust yourself to lead the way.  Try something new today.
