Mirror, mirror on the wall

My friend Margaret Soboslay's painting.

Look and say like the
tree I am beautiful. And
So you will become.


Note:

This is a poetic take on one of the tips on aging gracefully given by Christiane Northrup, MD, the author of the book, Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Well-Being (click on the image below for information on how to obtain the book). She was a recent guest on Oprah Winfrey's TV program Super Soul Sunday wherein she discussed some of the ideas in her book on not aging as one inevitably grows old.

She suggests as a daily ritual to look at the mirror and say to yourself "I love you" repeatedly for twenty minutes. If one does this self affirmation which comes from within and not from an egoistic self one would see the lines disappear.
