Looking at this card I was struck by how much motion I perceive in it. Then I read in the LWB that there is a "constant motion to achieve stillness." Aha! Not only is this a great insight but the card conveys this concept so well. The famous Thai meditation master Ajahn Cha told a frustrated student that the reason the advice he was giving him often seemed contradictory was that sometimes he saw the student straying off the path to the right and would say "go left" and other times he would see him go off the path to the left and say "go right". I see this card as representing the middle path.
The same concept can also explain unbalanced perception. We might encounter someone once, say a rude waiter, and assume that they are a rude person but we really are only seeing a tiny slice of that person's being. This card is a time warp that shows a spiritually advanced being in their wholeness over time.
