Flood
What it can mean
A flood can point to feelings that have risen faster than you can process them — stress, grief or even excitement spilling over. It often appears when life feels overwhelming. In folk readings, receding floodwater is a sign that the worst is passing and a fresh start follows.
A question to sit with
What has been building up until it feels like too much?
