Looking inside
my soul opened up
the reflection in the mirror
taunting me with it's mistakes.
A recurring theme in my life lately has been regret and shame. I have dealt with many things in my life by avoiding looking back at things I would regret, but time after time I find myself face to face with the person I was, and the mistakes I've made. I'm slowly making peace with that... very slowly. The woman in my mirror had a rough road. She's bruised and scarred, strong and powerful. She's made mistake after mistake, fallen time after time, and gotten back up and carried on. She's better because of the lesson's she has learned and the hurts she's felt. Still I avoid the mirror like the plague, trying to pretend the mistakes never happened and missing the strength and power that grew from the ashes of my mistakes.
Perhaps it is time to change all that...
(I was not sure how to best express this idea, so I started by making the mirror in different mediums to see how they would work. I want to try watercolor as well. )

Thanks Stacie, I don't think my subconscious is giving me much choice though... lol just keeps coming back again and again until I will listen.
In my experience, it's always good to listen to our inner voice. I wish you love and peace on your journey. :-)
