Looking at this image, the song "Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand" echoes in my head. What kind of magical contraption is he holding to connect to his distant love? These days we have so many means of communication at our disposal. Do they make our messages clearer? How close do we really feel to those who are not with us in the flesh?
I notice, too, the juggling sticks he holds, and the stars that decorate his body - an ability to shine at something we do, even if we have to balance different projects or aspects of life. His muscular acrobats body speaks of years of practice and hard-work to achieve this mastery.
Below the magical communication device are a face mask and a flame - the soul burns brightly, with no need to hide, yet he keeps his options open - we do not always have to show all that we are to everyone. Communication involves a willingness to be seen and heard, as well as a willingness to see and hear the other - both sides are necessary to truly connect.
What are you able to express to others? Can you listen with your whole heart? How can you communicate with those you care about? Who can you reach out to today?
