Nina, Jan 27, 2022 in New Story Challenge
Dear podmates and fellow travelers on this journey,
Thank you for holding space for me to share a song during our closing call. I'm sharing a link to a recording of the song and the lyrics here.
I am deeply grateful to all of you for the immeasurable gift of being seen by you, and allowing me to see you, and all the beauty within each one of you.
Love to you all. 💗
Nina

World Without Mirrors
In a world without mirrors, how would I see me—
How would you describe what you see?
How would I look through your eyes if my eyes were blind?
Can you tell me what you’d find?
Would you see my transgressions, my courage, my woe?
All of the things that I wish you didn’t know
World without mirrors, who do we all see—
Is it really you or me?
In a world without mirrors, how would they see us—
How would they see past their mistrust?
How would we look through their eyes if our eyes were blind?
Can you tell me what they’d find?
Would they see our traditions, the way that we love?
All of the things that we’re not too proud of
World without mirrors, who do we condemn—
Is it really us, or them?
In a world without mirrors, how would I see you—
How would I describe what you do?
How would you look through my eyes if your eyes were blind?
Let me tell you what I find.
I can see all the trial, all the fire you walk through
All of the things that you wish you didn’t do.
World without mirrors, who do we see true—
Is it really me or you?
