Just think of a child:

a child is born,

for the first time a child opens his eyes --

he will see the trees,

but he will not be able to say to himself,

"These are trees."

He will see light,

but he will not be able to say within himself,

"This is electric light."

He will see the redness of the rose,

but he will not be able to say,

"This is a roseflower and the color is red."

He will see everything,

but he will not say anything inside.

That is mirroring:

he will simply mirror.

The trees will still be green,

in fact far greener than they will ever be again,

because the mirror is completely pure,

crystalline.

The mirror has no dust...

thoughts gather dust.
