Two Sides of the Mirror

by Pat Antonopoulos

Alice went through the looking glass to find her alternate universe.
"Eat this."
"Drink this."
Alice did.... and she became what she wasn't.
Had Mr. Carroll lived today,he might have added, "Wear this." to further the transformation of Alice.

Architectural innovation gave us buildings of reflective glass so that when we peer inside, we see the outside.
Discussion, two sides of the mirror, was once a way to make progress, but fails when winning the point trumps the learning.
An absolute belief in one side of righteousness is more destructive than conscious lying to distort and win the claim to that righteousness.
Just below our awareness, we have a twitch in our personalities for each friend and each situation...an adjustment in our reflection.
There is wavering depth to the looking glass.
