Three of Wands + King of Swords, Rosa Orm + St.Croix

The need to not lose sight of the big picture and being mindful about taking words and truths associated with our feelings with a grain of salt - sifting through them carefully to find what's actually true and which are USEFUL. 

Bidding thoughts that doesn't serve us farewell - it's a choice whether we believe a thought or not, we choose which thoughts we entertain. We might not choose which thoughts that pop up - but we choose which to 'receive with open hands' and which we keep (entertaining).

This is true for others' words too. 
We can choose which to 'hold on to'. Feel which resonates with us. Feel which are useful for our own journey.
We can feel if they are projections - coming with feelings (water) attached to them.
Again, we can choose which to receive and nurture, and which to kindly refrain from taking into our system (it doesn't have to be said out loud by the way, it's a choice we can make in silence)

An invitation to contemplate our thought patterns (programs) and which we day after day choose to repeat by not making active choices which thoughts to nurture.
Are our thoughts in alignment with our true values? In service of what we need? Helping us develop?
If not, they're 'not ours', but thoughts we're taught to think ('been programmed with'), or thoughts we've adopted out of survival. Mostly unconscious and intertwined with our emotions.

We can change this.
By becoming more aware of what we think, and not let out thoughts 'run the show' and falsely believe all of them to be facts and truths.
See our thoughts (and words of others) as the suggestions they are - facets of a much much MUCH larger picture.
Separate them from any accompanying emotions, and look at each and everyone with sober eyes.
Choose which to 'bring with us on the journey' (boat).
