From the Waking the Wild Spirit, the Six of Water; from the Saltwater Reading Cards, Rough Seas:
It takes radical honesty and a good dose of self-compassion to recognize a repetitive pattern.
—Monika Walankiewicz
Rather than a nostalgic look back, Poppy invites us to look within at what maintains our habitual patterns. At some point in our life, we learned behaviors and beliefs which influence our relationships. Yet here is an opportunity to find those roots and question their validity and efficacy. Have we been operating from false or tainted information (including our inner dialogue)? Rough Seas indicates this investigation may feel powerful, disruptive and overwhelming. What is familiar doesn't like to be uprooted for something new. But with honesty and self-compassion, rather than denial and shame, we can begin to grow some new, healthier roots.
