Mirror, Mirror


Yesterday I had a most surreal experience. I was reading one of those brain candy magazines about celebrities and had just spent the better part of an hour looking at pictures of perfect people when I went to brush my teeth. To my surprise, the image I saw in the mirror seemed more beautiful than all those pictures I had just looked at. I would have thought after all that perfection, my own imperfection would have been glaring, but maybe seeing a real person was refreshing. And since I don’t usually like what I see in the mirror, it seemed particularly noteworthy that my reflection would look so good right after I had seen all those flawless faces.  Maybe what is different is what seems most beautiful.
