A Koan of my Own

Unfortunately, the mirror is blocking your face, and if you could stop looking at yourself, you might find that elusive stranger walking about out in the world. You hold up two mirrors to each other, or break a mirror to turn it on itself, and you can make wonderfully limitless patterns. But, a man is not a pattern; he is not a geometric shape or a reasonable deduction. He is irrational, like a portrait. Telephones, like reflections, can have feedback loops; often noisy and unpleasant, they have a terrible quality of ruining the conversation. Look to the light and shine.
