Experiment: The Cross of Lorraine

Sit in front of a mirror. Establish contact with your reflection . Recite the following poem three times from memory,

The arms of Jesus are the Cross of Lorraine,
Both the blood in the artery and the blood in the vein,
Both the source of grace and the clear fountaine;
The arms of Satan are the Cross of Lorraine,
And the same artery and the same vein,
And the same blood and the troubled fountaine."
-Charles Peguy

Sit for a few moments maintaining the connection with your reflection. Use a tube of lipstick to write a six line poem in response upon the mirror. Use the words shining, stream, and star
