A mirror is somewhat like a window.Both are made of glass and both will send back an image to your brain.A mirror reflects you back to yourself.A window shows what or who is outside of your residence, be it a hut or a palace.
Ths first mirror is the face of your mother…she reflects you back to yourself and ultimately that is how you develop a sense of self
A window is a way of looking out or indeed looking in if you are walking by a house.We seem to have ambiguous feelings about letting people look in so here many people put lace or net curtains up to veil themselves from the public at large
Now,this is very bad because I am coming tonight to look into your window.Why are you so shy?
Are you doing something you ought not to? Like reading Pasternak and drinking brandy while your cat dances a minuet on the table?
I have read a few articles lately about the poet Sylvia Plath.She suffered from severe depression and wrote a novel called “The Bell Jar” based on this.
Being behind a glass wall is an experience I have heard other people mention.So you can see people but you feel unable to make contact with them.Maybe you need a time of isolation but maybe you got stuck in there..Glass,windows,mirrors there’s a lot of very deep meaning in these images.
So although I do look into windows I am not being unpleasant and I like to go into friend’s houses and sit there talking or listening
If you feel sad and lonely in your bell jar find a group of people who will let you sit and listen without having to speak much.Maybe you can help wash up afterwards..Just being near some kind people can be soothing especially if they will just let you be.Or talk about simple things like flowers and cats and the weather.It’s the animal in us that needs to be be near others even if we feel very sad.
It’s all about balance…alone is good,together is good.And as long as you have a soft tongue .most people will like you.I think we imagine others to be more critical than they are..
To be frank,most people are very caught up in themselves and would hardly notice if you had a tea cosy on your head and a dress made from an old blanket.As long as you are clean and polite just forget about that side of things.Nowadays dress is less important in many countries as more wear jeans,chinos and sweat shirts and that’s the women..
Don’t stare too deeply into people’s eyes unless you are looking for a one night stand… if so do take precautions,like a relative for example but do look a little into my eyes as I am peeking in at you tonight as I pass by to the Pizza Hut with my cat and my partner who will be paying for our meal..I leave my money at home.There must be one night a week when a man pays the bill….My money is for those essentials like the hairdresser and the beauty salon or maybe some novels… a man like to pay,I find.Even if you have to give them a £50 note from your purse before you leave home. A man is the best accessory I have found and you can talk to them too and buy them clothese
