Wow, April is almost over! The year is making its trip on a pretty fast clip.
Uruz, Wunjo, and Kano pointed me into the right direction for today.
Uruz and the arochs it remembers brings an opportunity to gather your strength around you. The challenge with being strong is doing so in such a manner that one is not over bearing or brutish or abusive or aggressive. So far, one of the most challenging things I have faced is providing employees with feedback. I wanted my feedback to be constructive and informative for both of us. I think I achieved that, or at least that is the impression I had. I didn't back down. I wasn't brutal in my assessment like others have been to me. I offered education materials to build communication styles and skills. I learned how I need to improve in order to be a better supervisor. All in all, I held my own and we both survived the reviews.
Wunjo is serenity and I felt pretty good and at peace after my meetings today. I felt I did a good job with my first attempt at reviewing employees. I know I have lots more to learn and that will be accomplished in time. Advice I had sought would have been nice to have; I learned on my own instead.
Kano brings Inner Peace. For once, in a while, my brain was not running a mile a minute with all sorts of conversations both remembered or imagined. I was able to spend the day in relative calm. I did some research when I got home and I learned some new rune spreads. I'm not sure if I will apply all the ones I learned in the near future. I know some will be applicable depending on the question I ask. I suppose the one that intrigued me the most was making a clock of the runes and drawing one which heralded your day based upon the hour it was drawn. I might find good use of that one! Not tonight, though. Its not in the cards, so to speak. I did try some heart-breathing meditation. That needs some work, but it might have good applications.
Jera is the task for tonight. Successful harvest. A full season of growth. A full season indicates a need to wait, for patience, and to possess perseverance. My decision to wait to work with the runes on a specific project is appropriate at this time. The correct time will present itself in good time.
