Hi Dreamer, Excellent question! But it led my mind to wander into a memory instead of the assignment. The memory involves a mirror that hung in my grandparents house for many, many years. Shortly after they both died I was sitting in their house debating what to do with everything. The mirror hung across the room slightly higher than my head. As I glanced around the room an image in the mirror caught my attention. That image changed every few seconds. It was as if the mirror had captured memories of time in it. First I saw my grandmother adjusting a hat on her head. She was quite young! I saw my mother and her siblings at different time frames, oftentimes holding one of their small children up to see themselves in the mirror. Grandpa checked occasionally to see if he really needed to shave before heading out the door. So many things I never got to see in person! I asked my mom about the various clothing articles I saw the images wearing and she verified they authenticity of their existence. How it happened I know not but it was a neat blessing, almost like seeing life through the eyes of my grandparents. That was probably 12 years ago. I still have the mirror but haven't had any more travels through time with it but it did open my eyes to something I wouldn't have imagined possible. Thanks for letting me share.

If you close your eyes and imagine a mirror, the first image will be of your face or eyes or any RECENT reflections you had seen through a mirror. Gradually, however, as your logic tells you you are only imagining, for one, and for two, you are closing your eyes so you cannot see your image or eyes in the mirror you are imagining, therefore the mirror image you will be imagining now may look blank for a second, then would present a reflection for another second, in intervals. If you could hold on for a second concentrating at the blank face of the mirror, then you may start to imagine a blank mirror, provided that you have actually seen one without a reflection before - on TV, at the living room in a movie by a tallying camera ..etc. The moment you can imagine a full face-to-face mirror with no reflections at all, your mind has started to think abstractly - which is your tool to understanding mathematics, Einstein, and Quantum Physics.

It is hard for me to imagine a mirror. It's much easier to imagine a window.... and I guess through the window I see the people who mean the most to me, dead or alive.

The mirror's so blurry...it's hard for me to see anything in it. Does it have any meaning or were you just asking?
