I step out of the shower and throw a towel around my body.
As I reach for the hair dryer, I glance up at the bathroom mirror.
I cannot see my reflection.
I cannot see my eyes staring back at me.
Without another thought, I start to doodle on the mirror.
My fingers make the steam disappear as I draw on the smooth surface.
I am a child again.
I am a child carelessly drawing nonsense on glass.
As the water from my hair drips onto the counter top, I look at the mirror once more.
The steam is gone.
My artwork has gone with it.
All that is left is my reflection, the same refelction I sought to see before.
I realize that I liked being a child better, drawing on a fogged up mirror.

It is very healthy (in a magickal sense) to let your inner child out. Especially when making contact with wood spirits (in my eyes they exist.) I myself write on the mirror all the time.
