16 March 2011

Today's selected runes were Nauthiz reversed, Berkana, and Odin.

Nauthiz is the rune of constraint, of need.  When it is reversed, perhaps I am focusing on things I think I need but the time is incorrect?  Perhaps I need to ignore the things/feelings I think I need and focus upon the day instead?  What a day!  I had four meetings today, one was not happy with us and the other three were pleased with things.  Then, on the road and now I am back "home" even though I am not in my stomping grounds.  Huh, did you notice that stomping grounds may reference a lek?  For those who are unfamiliar with the term, a lek is an area where birds dance during meeting season.  Primarily, grouse species and other shrubland birds perform on a lek.  It may also reference dance grounds, however, I think it is more likely referencing the leks.  I get to see the big "Misery" tomorrow!!!!!

Berkana brings growth.  Part of growing is asking for help.  I asked for "help" with the roads.  I drove in rain, no precipitation, and all amounts of snow.  Of course, the mountain pass (I missed the tell-tale chain-up signs, so is it really a mountain pass regardless of the range it crosses?) was after dark and the temperatures were dropping and the white stuff was falling.  Oops, not great planning.  I made it to where I wanted to stop for the night, though.  So, the help came through!

Odin is the mystery.  The mystery of learning about yourself; about others; and your interactions with all.  And perhaps my "mechanical abilities" such as they are.  I have a question about my tires.........  Oh, because I am in a strange place, perhaps I shall "listen" to the energies and see what I can pick out.

Ehwaz provides the task for tonight.  Movement.  A sign I am progressing, yet have more work to do.
