Gnaw on This

I do that. Take things in. Ruminate on them. Hold them for, perhaps, longer than they deserve to be held.

I can find myself zoning out when someone talks to me, pondering some part of a sentence they said previously. Turning the idea over and over.

I understand this passage on a visceral level.

I suppose this blog is one way to put down some of those held thoughts so that I don't have to keep gnawing on them.
