Mirror maze- 

infinite illusions of perception.

Trappings and doings of the human self;

limits of true potential.

 

Shatter these myriad reflections

and free the true self from the ego-self.

 

What are these mirrors? 

Judgments, assumptions,

our thoughts of how things should be.

All illusions- 

all we think we know,

all we think we are, 

every limitation and box 

we place upon ourselves-

only mirrors reflecting back to us

merely what we think we should see;

never what really is.

 

Will you shatter the mirrors

and break the chains of the 

illusions that bind or will you 

remain trapped, endlessly running

a mirror maze of your own creation?

 

Judgments are our own

assumptions of what should be;

ripples leaving distorted 

reflections of reality.

 

Shatter the mirrors by

casting aside judgments of 

others, judgments of self.

 

Do the unexpected and break routine.
