Think a bit more about
How it would feel
If that thing
Were different somehow
A deep breath or two
Might seem like
Too little
And so you do so
Anyway
Tapping your fingers
And filling your lungs
In and out
In and out
Journal it away
Put it away
Save it now for
Another session
You say
An objection arises
Ten breaths in
And then you’re once
More back again
Forces unseen
Conspire with lack
Of sleep and food and drink
You take care of that
It will make more sense
As time goes by
What you cannot control
Is how much time that will be
When this card is drawn, release your ruminating thoughts by journaling them out. If there is something on your mind, it helps to put in on paper instead. That way, you can "keep" that thought and shelve it for a later time.
Rumination is critical thinking that isn't going anywhere. When you find yourself in a thought spiral or loop, one that doesn't go anywhere helpful, it's time to bring in the tools, and in this case, the pen tool. A mighty wand for transforming your ruminating thoughts into creative solutions.

This card is an installment towards the development of my latest deck, the Sextile Oracle, a divination system designed for frequent or daily use as well as emotional, spiritual, and mental support.
All of my decks are inspired by cycles in nature, and this deck is about our cyclical patterns of introversion and extroversion, as well as the spiral of wisdom we gain throughout life.
