The High Priestess

Artist: Vivian Schwarz

Consider the water. Consider dipping your hands into it, droplets trailing through your fingers. Consider the ripples, repeating over and over in waves. You are calm, you are thoughtful, you are in control. In control of your body (which is still), in control of your voice (which is silent), in control of your thoughts (which are empty). Look into the water, this shallow pool you sit in, and convince yourself it is the ocean. You are not ready for action (it will hurt) and you are not ready for inaction (ignore it). Consider the water, and maybe it will help you finally make up your mind. Maybe if you take just a sip.
