Sinking
When we’re able to sink in, it’s a good thing.
When we feel like we’re sinking, it doesn’t feel good at all.
In the former, we have a sense of home. A sense of grounding. We’re comfortably present.
In the latter, we have none of that — only an increasing sense of overwhelm.
Curiously, one of the ways to overcome the feeling of sinking is by sinking into something.
