A striped tower beside the sea at dusk, with a silhouette of a person in the foreground and stars visible in the sky.

We continue our stay in Porto, Portugal for the 3rdnight running. I took this picture near the ocean front. I loved how the stars and the moon shone in the distance and by turning it into a back and white image, the striking aspect of the image just pops right out from the page.

The image for me has a few prompts that really give life to the title. The moon that oversees the world during the night, providing us with some light in the total darkness. The stars, remnant of the light as it travels for lightyear to reach our skies. Stars that have povided the backdrop to many of our myths and phylosopies, for the contelation and the movements of planets appear to be influencing our psyche. The tower, as it rises above the head of my friend, as he walks into the frame. Everything in this image spoke of “overseeing”

Of course as human beings we often take the role of overseeing something. We oversee our own selves exploring life, we oversee things at work, we oversee peple in our family. And when we oversee, we are just watchers from the sidelines, we do not get involved, we just observe. Maybe some directing may happen, but overall as overseers we just wach from the sidelines.

So how many times have been cast in that role?

How many times have you take on the role yourself?

How many times it was the easier out?

I am currently working with a client who does just that, they oversee their own life, but do not appear to be taking any active role. They watch as life happens to them, with little presence. Their body is there, their body is going through the motions but the mind has vacated the premises.

The moon and the stars might watch us from the sky, but on the planet we consider them an influence, therefore we assign human wualitites to these celestial objects In total contrast some humans forget their planetary existance and decide that living in the clouds is easier and safer.

The safest place I guess for any human, to find that middle ground, where that which is in the sky, and that which is on the planet work in harmony. As above so below, as within so without and back again.

If you would like to explore thing further, why not book with me and allow me to help you find your path to self.
