Recently I have been exploring the realm of prayer and trying to comprehend the relation between humans, prayer and God .It is during this exploration that I came across this quote from Thich Nhat Hanh: "We and God are not two separate existences; therefore the will of God is also our own will...Between the subject and the object there is a close relationship just as there is a close relationship between left and right, night and day, satisfaction and hunger; just as according to the law of reflection, the perceiver and the perceived have a close link".
Once I had accepted the idea that one praying and the one being prayed to is the same, I imagined a bit of God within me. Similarly there must be a bit of God in everyone.
A mirror shows what is true; it reflects who you are and exactly how you are. But who you are is who you want to be; it shows who you percieve yourself to be. 'Mirror Image' is a set of paintings which is trying to potray God and humans as a reflection of each other.
