Through The Looking Glass Of The Office Window
Mon Dec 04 2006

It is a nice view outside my office window. Usually. A view of a car park, but framed into the autumn colourful things…few trees here and there, and a perspective to the nearby hill, covered in the wild woods… But as days getting shorter, evenings come earlier, it is darkness already and I’m still in the office…funny that it is only now when I’ve noticed that I’m not alone here, though I am…there are no other humans in the office at that time of a day, but I looked at the window and saw…me. In the dark my office reflected so perfectly in there, it looked like a parallel universe, a land through the looking glass…strange that me in there looked different from what I’d expect from me to be…[*waves hey, me!*] 

I smiled and she smiled me back…I winked to her and she returned the wink…I looked at her carefully and for a time we studied each other as if we never seen before…I thought – how little I know of that girl out there, I might even have to ask her to tell me more of herself, as it is kind of uncomfortable experience to see yourself as a stranger, isn’t it?..

A Stranger From The Other Side Of The Universe…or something like that anyway…of course, I know it is just a reflection and of course I’m capable all right to handle meeting with myself in the mirrored world. Just you never really notice things until you noticed them suddenly. It is different from looking at you in the mirror, because when I take a look in the mirror, I know in advance what I expect to see there…and this was something like oppssshelloandwhoareyou? thing…and maybe she never been there before, because the darkness happened much later before…but now she appeared and I’m curious of what secrets we might share now…she should, in a way, know all the secrets that I know myself, right?…I found it interesting now, that I can be alone and not alone the same time…certainly the meaning of quiet late office hours has now taken another errmmm...meaning?…totally un-anticipated, but no less meaningful…
