"If music be the food of love, play on." ~Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
The following is the lyrics from the song Mirror, by Barlow Girl. It is a religious song, but even if you are not religious, this song certainly has relevance. We often look in the mirror and let that piece of reflective glass define who we are. I wrote about this a few days ago, but it is worth repeating: WE ARE MORE THAN WHAT IS ON THE OUTSIDE!
We may be overweight by a little or a lot, we may have gray hair or bald spots, but the inside is the place from which our true beauty is reflected. If we get our insides "right" the things that are "left" (like our being overweight) are really immaterial, aren't they?
Remember to be good to yourselves and to each other. Enjoy the spring weather by taking a walk!
Barlow Girl
Mirror Lyrics:
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry you won't define me
Sorry you don't own me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try
Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me
You don't define me, you don't define me
Karin - great post. I like Barlow Girl, but I love Superchic(k)! Have you heard of them? I steal.....uh er....i mean borrow my daugter's Superchic(k) cd to work out to. It is like Barlow Girl if they drank a case of 5 hour energy drinks.
