(This is the 6th post in my series “being seen at 50″)
*******
I broke a mirror last week.
The symbolism of a broken mirror/broken image is not lost on me as I make my way though this 30 day project.
My attention is drawn to the shelf behind me that holds pills, tinctures, herbs and prescriptions. My personal blend of natural and allopathic healing.
And it says so much. My body needing help and the all the places it comes from. The fragmented view I have when I only see part of myself. The mysterious story that is told though fully seeing just that fragment.
It is personal, intimate, comforting and unsettling at the same time. My world in a moment, that to anyone else is unremarkable and quietly ordinary. Yet, fascinating to me as it begs to tell me an important story.
Me, at 50, with a shelf of medicine, seeing myself in a mirror shard, in black and white.
Feeling the story that wants to be told.
