i've seen that mirror before, a long time ago, but to see it again is comforting, like an old dog that recognizes you, or the cat that responds to your purring, or mom's home cooking. but i saw myself, and i was happy with what i saw, glad, overjoyed, it was sweet, good, good is a good word for it. i knew what it was like, and i was ashamed before, i didn't want to share it, when i should have, although it wasn't the right time, isn't time funny? timing, all about the right time, less so the right person than the right time, right time for everything, just ask the byrds, they know,

take the time to the smell the flowers
feel the pain enjoy the sorrow
taste the rain both sweet and sour
remember today and live tomorrow
