From the Somnia Tarot, the Hermit; from the Spirits of Nature Oracle, River (Flow):
Bruno describes the solitude of this Hermit as allowing him unencumbered self-reflection. He stands on a rock, lantern in hand, while icy waters crash around him. It makes me think of examining our feelings rather than letting them direct our choices and actions. Emotions are just reactive energies that color life but also cloud our clarity. If we pause and observe them without commentary (shine our lantern on them), they tend to dissipate. River (Flow) suggests that we immerse ourselves in the moment with mindfulness. We pay attention without judgment, without grasping or pushing away what shows up. We can't control our emotions, but we can choose what to do with them. Like a struck match, we can either fuel them with thoughts or let them burn out without adding any tender.
