I have learned a new word: Marinating! I love it! It is a metaphor which describes in a very figurative way how you are entangled, surrounded, boxed in, full of something for instance thoughts, a dilemma, a stressful or difficult situation for instance when the unemployment situation gets to be too much. You can't move, there seems to be no way out, you are stuck and you are just captured in that everlasting box of feelings and emotions - you are surrounded and soaked - it is all over you!
As for marination this process can last seconds or days and is carried out with different mixtures of spices to flavor the food items and the experience. But letting something soak in leaves time for reflection and for turning over the matter in one's mind and very often new possibilities will occur.
