Inguz, Uruz, and Mannaz gave their guidance for today's activities.
Inguz is a fertile rune. I started a report for work in a program that I have never used before. I also completed some training. Not super creative, however, it was fertile in that it meets some work requirements. This evening was the most productive thing of the day: a reception for an art show! I didn't have anything displayed, however, a meet-and-greet is productive all on its own. Also, there is something gratifying about being involved in the community in some form.
Uruz is reminiscent of the aurochs. Great strength was found in the ancient livestock. We were grateful for the assistance and the sustenance provided by the great animal. Today, I revisited some information about an issue that has been on-going for many years. I found comfort in some of the information and all is not lost. I am also very grateful for the working environment I have found. It is such a breath of fresh air from the previous!
Mannaz is the innocent which ties back to the self. The innocent provide people in their lives with blind loving kindness. Often, they have not lived enough or experienced enough to know better. Yet, here we are so jaded and cynical we forget to showing loving kindness because we have been taught to keep ourselves locked away. Its a challenge to allow ourselves to open up to love and to hurt. It can be worth the risk, at times. The true challenge is figuring out if the risk is worth it based upon the choices in front of us.
Gebo is the task for tonight. Gifts. How about giving the gift to myself of focusing on the positive. Go to bed with a positive image in my brain. See what that brings me. Perhaps it will bring a great morning?!?
