The dragon always returns

Pareidolia

By Katherine D. GrahamPublished 5 months ago 2 min read

There are occasions when I forget for a while, the way that I see things, in a special style. I will translate what I can absorb, of the reappearing image seen through the lens of my curved orb.

Pareidolia affects my vision. I witness the dragon’s appearance with precision. This gift does not always appear on demand but is sometimes enhanced depending on how I stand. With knees slightly bent and feet together in Wu chi, there is energy in emptiness that my mind’s eye can see.

The outline of dark on light, and light on dark, most always leaves an impressionable arc. The Naga curves from infinite grandness of galaxies and stars to the minutiae of twisting fascia, DNA and scars. The dragon is found in the contours of coasts, clouds and forest undulations. The dragon Thuban, once wore the crown as the steadfast pole star, and is seen in other constellations. The serpentine flow is smooth or angularly carved, and can appear swollen and full, or gaunt and starved.

The Coriolis effect may explain how the universe’s spin forms a dragon eye round the sun, moon and shapes plants and beasts, rocks and water into dragons, nothing is immune. The dragon flies and swims as it emerges from the coiled kundalini. Its energy moves through blood and each chakra and a supernatural genie.

Humanity evolved from a reptilian stock mutation, our muscles, skin and brain support this relation. The dragon marks the path of movement . I recognize it for amusement and for a psychological improvement.

As life unfolds the self-similar dragon fractal unfolds, hidden in plain sight, an example that plus ca change plus la meme chose is alright. Each dragon carries and protects a seed pearl. It is planted and grows as the dragon completes its dancing swirl.

Dark and light from the earth and sky fit like a glove. They embody the attachment between all things that I call love. The repeating, random but unique order of the dragon twins is unknowingly expected. The serpent known through history always reappears and deserves to be respected.
