The Divine Mirror

​Horses are said to be able to read/sense humans’ feelings and emotions, which they mirror back to clients.   This process can be helpful in therapy and learning.  This abridged poem speaks of a divine mirror.

A mirror receives and reflects back what it sees
It does not judge, adjust, or write commentary,
We are the ones to do that.
A mirror simply reveals.
And invites responsibility.
 
When we learn to love anyone or anything,
It is because they have somehow, if just for a moment
Mirrored us truthfully yet compassionately to ourselves.

​Richard Rohr (Abridged)
