Mirror her moves, sun salutation, cat and cow, warrior one, child's pose.
Mirror her breathing, peaceful expression, bright smile, calm voice.
The universe reflects back the energy you send out.
Mirror her concern, screams in the alley, a possible assault.
Mirror her fingers tap 9-1-1, watch out the window waiting.
We are all connected through a benevolent force.
Mirror her light footsteps, open the back door, step outside.
Mirror her strides to the police car, her shock at shots fired.
The quantum world is a world of unknowns and unpredictability.
The single lines in the following poem are from Justine’s lecture “The Mirror Effect.”

Mirror her moves, sun salutation, cat and cow, warrior one, child's pose.
Mirror her breathing, peaceful expression, bright smile, calm voice.
The universe reflects back the energy you send out.
Mirror her concern, screams in the alley, a possible assault.
Mirror her fingers tap 9-1-1, watch out the window waiting.
We are all connected through a benevolent force.
Mirror her light footsteps, open the back door, step outside.
Mirror her strides to the police car, her shock at shots fired.
The quantum world is a world of unknowns and unpredictability.
