It is all one big balancing act, one knock and it will all come down.
But why a ladder?
Whilst looking through the Taschen Book of symbols I found this bit of writing
ordinary and magical, the ladders specific character evokes a sense of climbing through space, suspension above an office and the linking of disparate realms.
It also says this which connects with me.
In the biblical Genesis, the Hebrew patriarch Jacob dreams of a ladder between earth and heaven, the rungs of which former kind of vertical highway for angelic emissaries.
I know this work has some personal connection to me and how I am still trying to get my head round the passing of my wife am I trying to make a subconscious connection? It’s also funny how my Hebrew name is also Jacob and now I’m making the odd ladder
