Sunwatch

A radiant figure sits serenely upon a swing suspended within an ancient bronze sunwatch. Her gaze follows the sun’s gradual arc, reading fateful shadows cast. Though naked, she is draped in a gossamer white sheet that ripples with her subtle movements. Her breathing aligns with rhythms beyond clockwork time. She has voyaged deep into subterranean realms of the psyche, returning with occult treasures from the underworld. She knows sunlight and shadow hold hands as equal partners in revelation’s dance.

She comprehends realities hidden from those dazzled by the glare of self. With softened eyes adjusted to darkness, she tracks the stealthy movement of secrets once concealed. The unconscious speaks through symbols submerged in broad daylight. As the rays strike the sundial, black shapes come alive with meaning. Her body absorbs vibrations from realms beyond. Through embodied presence, she walks between worlds guided by unspoken wisdom. She understands each cycle of light and dark holds purpose. Moments of shadow reconnect us to primal instincts eclipsed by artificial days. The swing’s oscillation matches inhale and exhale, the eternal dance between being and non-being.

She knows the supreme importance of shadow, as threat and gift on the winding path. Until integrated and honoured, it directs life’s course while we cling to wilful blindness. Ancient alchemical texts speak of solving et solubile – the solid and soluble selves churn in continual reconciliation. The fixed and mutable in seeming opposition coagulate into one coherent whole. The darkened shapes on the circular dial reveal the unconscious seeking integration into conscious  spheres. The intuition quietly unravels a new stratagem once hidden in broad daylight.

The secret workings of fate yield to loving awareness. Through courage and openness, explore your inner landscape without judgement. In compassionate acceptance, each denied fragment can find a home in wholeness. Gaze following the hidden will unveil self-aspects longing for your attention. Mindfulness dissolves their sway over behaviour, their mysterious messages transformed into conscious allies. A practical action that leads to novel solutions. In loving reunion with our shadow, we cease wrestling ghosts and meet marvelled destiny. Reach out to the sun and touch it.
