Image Management

"When man found the mirror, he began to lose his soul;
for he became more concerned with his image
rather than his self."
-Stephen Covey

I love this quote! We can so easily become more concerned with image management than authentic living. WHO is more important than DO!!!

"In the morning
After taking cold shower
—–what a mistake—–
I look at the mirror.

There, a funny guy,
Grey hair, white beard, wrinkled skin,
—–what a pity—–
Poor, dirty, old man!
He is not me, absolutely not.

Land and life
Fishing in the ocean
Sleeping in the desert with stars
Building a shelter in the mountains
Farming the ancient way
Singing with coyotes
Singing against nuclear war–
I’ll never be tired of life.
Now I’m seventeen years old,
Very charming young man.

I sit down quietly in lotus position,
Meditating, meditating for nothing.
Suddenly a voice comes to me:
'To stay young,
To save the world,
Break the mirror.'"
