the keyhole, Monotype of the Day #422

Day 57 of Year 2

I'm thinking of Alice in Wonderland tonight. Specifically, when she found a key to a door which when opened revealed a tiny passage into a beautiful garden. She was too big to enter so she had to go through many changes to get in. First she grew very large and then she shrunk down very small. It's a wonderful illustration of how much we sometimes have to change to reach our deepest desires.


I'm still waiting to see what's beyond my keyhole, but I'm excited that it has finally appeared after several days of individuals key images. Maybe 6 months ago an image similar to tonight's peaked through. That happens, great shifts in energy are often foreshadowed and something is definitely shifting. What will tomorrow bring?

Excerpt from Chapter One of Alice in Wonderland

by CS Lewis

"Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway;"
