You’re getting ready in front of your mirror, when you realise that your reflection is glaring at you…
Reflection From The Mirror
Stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night I saw the moon was shining on the mirror and I gazed at the reflection of its beauty there. The rays danced lightly on the glass surface. I was brought fully awake when I saw my reflection all twisted and angry staring back at me.
This was surreal. I knew my face was enjoying the moonbeams and could not possibly be almost like a snarling dog staring back at me. I convinced myself this was all a very odd dream and soon I would wake to a dawn that was done with this “Alice in Wonderland” state I was experiencing.
Then the snarling face called out to me saying, “I will not be gone with the dawn my pretty”. I found this a tad humorous. My unconscious mind had now added “The Wizard of Oz” ,another of my favorite childhood books, to this bizarre monologue. I somehow stumbled back to bed and slept soundly the rest of the night.
When I entered the bathroom the next morning there were three books in my bathroom sink. I did not have time to figure how these books appeared in the sink in my bathroom. There was my copy of “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Wizard of Oz”, and lastly a copy of “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.” I chuckled and thought that in the craziness of the night before I should have experienced falling through the wardrobe into Narnia. I stopped laughing when I was staring into the face of the same image I had seen the night before in the mirror. I was her or she was me. We now had a body and in our outstretched hand was Turkish Toffee. In the distance I heard Aslan roar.
