Anchor

Setting down anchor to settle into soul, stability guaranteed, yet threat of cementing to concrete what I have in control. My anchor is my stablility, yet it feels too heavy of late; I feel as if I cannot cast anchor, to survey both what I want and need to explore. My anchor is a blessing and curse, both in how I use it and how it is used; it keeps me stable and grounded, yet so easily of late, it keeps me cemented in place. That which relaxes me of late has become utterly routine, and while it settles me out to some degree, I yearn to cast my anchor aside, to feel free and be the soul I was meant to be.

This poem and anchor are based on cards in the lenormand oracle deck. I like to look at such thing as visual metaphor/archetypes. In this case, with the anchor and the tower, they are two cards in the deck that I focused on that illustrate how so much stay at home time has burnt people out on what they usually do to relax them. We all want a variation in our routine now, to be able to go out to restaurants without worry, etc.
