Here's a picture of me and me in the mirror

When did you first recognize yourself?

In Japan, "The mirror is the soul of a woman just as the sword is the soul of the Samuri."

Weird experiences with mirrors.

We're interested in mirrors and how they contribute to self-perception. Have you ever had a profound experience with a mirror? Have you ever seen something in your reflection that surprised you in either a good or bad way? Have you ever not recognized your own reflection? My cohorts and I at Freeflect will be doing some experiments--I suppose you can call them reflections--with mirrors over the next couple of months. We will post our experiences as we have them. We hope to create a forum for self-reflection and an examination of the self through this blog and the insight of its readers and contributors.

We want this to be a place where everyone can freely bounce ideas about self-worth, self-perception, or anything related to the history of mirrors and the idea of reflection.

Poems, short stories, reflections (of course), random thoughts, brainstorms, quotes...pretty much anything that relates to the idea of reflection is welcome here.
