HAY PIGGIES! It's Looking Glass Day! 🐹 💙 ❤️ 🪞 🪞 🪞 🐇

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

~ Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, Lewis Carroll, 1871

Are you having a Looking Glass Day? Are the slithy toves and mome raths getting you down? If you feel as if you've fallen down a rabbit hole where "everything that is, isn't, and everything that isn't is," or if it seems as if you've pushed through a looking glass into a world of confusion where everything is backwards and all logic is reversed, you are not alone! Stave off the madness by sitting quietly with your piggy.

The date of Looking Glass Day is derived from hints in the text of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass." Both Alice and Humpty Dumpty make reference to events which mark the date as the day before Guy Fawkes Night and six months after the date of Alice's first adventure in Wonderland!

In the story, Alice climbs up on the fireplace mantel and poke at the wall-hung mirror behind the fireplace to discover that she is able to step through it to an alternative world! Alice continues her adventures in this mirror world of twisted logic and confusion as one of the characters participating unwillingly in an obfuscated virtual chess game as a pawn. Hmmm ...

Wheek! Wheek! #wheekup
