Your face is neither infinite nor ephemeral. <br />You can never see your own face, <br />only a reflection, not the face itself. <br /> <br />So you sigh in front of mirrors <br />and cloud the surface. <br /> <br />It's better to keep your breath cold. <br />Hold it, like a diver does in the ocean. <br />One slight movement, the mirror-image goes. <br /> <br />Don't be dead or asleep or awake. <br />Don't be anything. <br /> <br />What you most want, <br />what you travel around wishing to find, <br />lose yourself as lovers lose themselves, <br />and you'll be that.<br /><br />Farīd ud-Dīn Attar Abū Hamīd bin Abū Bakr Ibrāhī<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/looking-for-your-own-face/
