MIRROR IMAGE

A man who had been searching for inner peace for a long time once had a dream in which he found himself in a vast, square room covered with mirrors. From wall to wall and floor to ceiling everything was a mirror. The man found himself in the center of this vast, square, mirrored room. He said out loud, "Help me!" The room echoed back, "Help me!" The man paused for a few moments in the deep silence of the room, and then he said, "I need you." The room echoed back, "I need you!" Then the man became very still inside for a long time until he felt the profound stillness and peace of the room. Finally, he said, "I love you." And the room echoed back, "I love you!" When the man awoke from this dream, he found that his heart was quiet and that his search for peace was over.
