The Mirror of Truth

He craves her love, her affection and her healing. Unwittingly, he projects her out in the world rather than protecting her close to his heart. He blames her for his inner turmoil. He wants her to feel his pain as he lives in denial of feeling. He wonders why she hides from him as he chases her around the parameters of his conditioned mind.

He roars loudly in his suffering drowning out her whispers of love. He locks her out of his heart and wonders why there is such emptiness within him. He seeks to fill the void with displays of affection forged in the fire of guilt and regret. But his words and empty gestures retain the embers of shame and burn on his lips. When these outer displays are melted down into emotions, they claws at his heart.

His hidden feminine knows it is only with his heart he can transform his pain into love. It is this love that sets her free. When his weary heart rests and he enters the night��s dreams, she comes to him. The strength of his gentleness protects her. In the quieter moods of reflection, they gaze back at each other through the mirror of infinity and learn to recognize each other as one. They begin to see that the world of illusion has broken the mirror in two, each of them believing that their half is the whole truth.
