12 April 2011

Today, 150 years ago, the first shot was fired to start the Civil War.  Oh, the irony!!

Inguz, Thurisa, and Ehwaz provided input for today.

Inguz represents Ing: fertility and new beginnings.  I tried a new technique in a meeting.  Listed everything we have going on over the next few months and identify the areas where help might be needed.  I also drove home trying to picture historic scenes as I was driving (the road follows an important emigrant trail) and just couldn't quite do that.  I am also following up on a dream I had.

Thurisa is Thor and represents wisdom in some areas.  One of my supervisors advised that I take the time and money to buy my subordinates coffee.  Ice cream in staff meetings works equally as well...  Other than that, no really wise moments for the day...

Ehwaz is movement and at times, it means letting go.  In this case, letting go of the past to move towards the future (an perhaps new beginnings) is the task. 

Perth is the task for tonight.  Taking the initiative on a project, creating love and fostering greater intimacy are all heady tasks for any night.
