Ehwaz, Ansuz, and Mannaz offered guidance for today.
Ehwaz is the rune of movement. Movement for me today was a long trip to Idaho and then an art meeting. I am able to display three pieces for a month. I am also working a shift this weekend. A movement in the right direction!
Ansuz bring messages. Addressing guilt is part of messages. Even under peer pressure, it is important to be able to maintain the ability to say no. Being able to say no even though you want to but are sure you don't have the time to commit to a huge project is a challenge. In addition to dealing with feelings of guilt, other messages may surface. It appears my list has minimized the impacts of factual items as compared to the emotional items. The emotions will determine what my position will be. Can I mitigate the things I do not like? Will those mitigation measures be enough to keep me in the game or will they add up and be substantial enough to point me in the direction of the exit?
Mannaz is the self and requires loving kindness. Loving kindness is important when you are dealing with things of the heart. Your own heart deserves the most loving kindness. If you cannot show the most kindness to yourself, you will not be able to show the appropriate kindness to others.
Odin offers the task for tonight. Perhaps it is time to put a question to guiding entities. Ask the Divine for guidance. Ask the runes. Ask the Self. Or, sleep on it and see if the answer pops into consciousness.
