I gazed into the mirror and viewed the Universe.

For once, I didn’t ask for anything and said, “What can I do to serve You?”

The peculiar mirror was making me feel like I could change the stars…

The Universe replied, “I love you”.

I felt warm in the midst of galaxies.

“Is this what love does? It makes you feel powerful as if you were capable of anything?” I asked.

The Universe pleaded, “You are the daylight as well as the night; the darkness you fight is within you. You are not separate from anything. I am you, and I said I love you because you, yourself, are love.”

“Well, I miss you, and I love you too,” I replied.

So the Universe said warmly, “Then come back to me, to you.”

“...Home”, I whispered.
