The fan stimulates the curtain
It dances seductively
Confusing the observer
Is it organic or object?
The window lights the dark room
The outside becomes cinematic to the observer
A solitary man sits black against its light
Highlighting his loneliness
His glass golden
His hat forlorn
The three gaudy images on the wall laugh at their guests
They beckon, “Come with us and dismiss your woes”
But darkness is their surround
The lonely man’s appearance brightens before me
His food his satisfaction
His drink his comfort
The music cascades down his leg
Causing it to pulse
He resolves his agitations
Packs his bag
Returns his hat (which finds its’ purpose again)
A nod to the bartender completes the transaction
The man returns to his intentions
Satiated
The observer also completes his station and moves to his purpose.
Although I haven’t stated it, I will explain a little. This was written in a pub, that had a grotesque painting on the wall of three monks. They were all drunken malevolent looking, ugly, sneering, rotund and dark. This writing is like the three of cups in the Tarot, but reversed. The man sits alone, with dark thoughts/memories surrounding him. They are memories of people who are malevolent and dark. He goes to the tavern to eat but cannot escape the darkness of those figures. Although there is music, although there is drink, he sits with them even though he is alone, he is never truly alone. This is how unhealed trauma feels. It doesn’t leaves us, but it does leave us feeling very alone.
The Three of cups in the upright represents, equality in community, friendship shared love and joy. It is a happy card.
The Three of cups in reversed is the opposite. It represents our community and/or our friends who are our secret enemies, although they declare otherwise their intentions are malevolent and cruel.
This is another cautionary tale.
This writing suggest the passing of time. The man is alone, and has dark memories that he cannot escape. He sits in deep thought about those darker times, but still goes on with his day. His thoughts and memories are haunting.
These types of memories and thoughts can be profoundly difficult to heal.
Spirit may be advising you to look into healing modalities that will help you work though those painful experiences. Familial and community betrayal is a deep wound. We can learn greatly from them. We can learn how NOT to be treated and what NOT to do. Sometimes we have to spend time alone in order to navigate what we have experienced.
It is a time to grieve.
All my love to you on this difficult journey, and as always, I advise seeking a modality of healing that helps you work through the process of grieving and recovery. Emotional wounds can certainly be healed. We don’t need to be stuck with the pain of them forever. We never forget them, but we can treat them afterwards as our very own cautionary tale.
Keep going my Dear loved one, you are deeply deserving of love and of a community where you are profoundly loved and appreciated exactly as you are.
