Preface To Reflections: Reflecting On Mirrors

Not only have I already done a show about mirrors - in October of 2004 - & not only that, I revisited the theme of mirrors in October of 2018.  But is a show about reflections necessarily a show about mirrors?

Gosh, that's like saying that once you've interfered, you're terribly involved!  It's like a marriage - the only thing is to simply go in & break it up!

Perhaps that doesn't sound right.  But when you pretend to love someone you don't love, you create hatred.  The person knows you're loving them because you feel it's duty.  That's why it's completely absurd to be dishonest with your feelings.

But what if no one delivers the mail?  What if there are no garbage collectors?

All the resentment piles up.  One day it just blows up.  For twenty years, see.  Meanwhile everybody's getting more bored & frustrated & suddenly the bombers are over you!  A whole life done away with.

We've been lucky.  The Swiss have been lucky.  The Swedes have been lucky, minding their own business.  But all that's over - technologically.

Nobody knows what the answer to it is!  But I'm certain that it has nothing to do with mirrors, which as a natural result has very little to do with reflections, while we can be confident to note that reflections might have something to do with mirrors.  They all have their place in the scheme of things without knowing they have a place.

The lesser doubts change your nature, the greater doubts change your purpose.  Go easy on yourself.
