We all know a mirror reflects us, if you look in it. If you move, the reflection moves. If you project from a mirror, meaning it will project an image, it's nothing to do with you. The world seen by nobody.

What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.

I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
