A glance into the mirror


Birds tattoo on me flying towards the outside world, when seen through the mirror show me coming back home. Mirrors have come a long way where reflection in water was only the means of seeing & was considered magic. Mirrors are now used for all kind of takes from LCD projections, lasers to car headlights, where a 6 to 12 Months baby also finds a playmate in them


  In Modern age of mass production it is easy to close the eyes take things for granted, the mirror was once considered extremely precious. It was literally worth its weight in gold only the affluent could hope to own. A keen eye for beauty you will readily recognize the allure of a fine antique mirror. It may be true that the value of the actual glass has taken a back seat to the frame of a mirror, but a connoisseur will undoubtedly appreciate both their histories.


  Mirrors jump-started a new form of art, self-portrait where painter seized himself while painting. Leonardo called the mirror the "master of painters." It was a tool that could be used to distort and improve the artist's work. It may be that mirrors increase the intensity of human sight in other ways as well. Seeing is a dynamic process if we stare directly at an object for a long time, we cease to see it. When we change our angle of vision, sweeping the eye across the object we continue to see it for a longer time.


 Leonardo Da Vinci’s code of behavior of mirror writing from right to left. Which believe he did was to foster deeper, truer, contemplation to develop 360 degrees, radial thinking. Using mirror writing slows you down with pauses creating a calmer, clearer, meditative state that increases the quality of your thinking unlocking rigid reasoning.


 Breaking a mirror creates a skeptic shudder for a moment! This superstition is an old one & has managed to keep its strength.      
We should stop looking in mirrors for physical imperfections glance into others eyes to see how much are we needed....
