Brood: to think anxiously or gloomily about, ponder
To Brood
To brood is to wander through a grove
where one sheep strays
and a hundred wolves follow.
Why did I make brooding my vocation
when awe was an option?
Thought spinner,
mull the wine of wonder.
— Rumi translated from the Farsi by Haleh Liza Gafori
