At times, I wonder how people who do not have a guide or tool to guide their day decide "enough already, I will do it!" when no one is kicking them in the bum to do it??? So, Enough, ALREADY, I will do it!!
Gebo, Laguz, and Mannaz were the runes I drew this morning.
Gebo is the rune of gifts. I found an opportunity to make progress towards an objective earlier than anticipated. So, I did the paperwork and am on my way to meeting that objective so I can become a better employee and boss. Yahoo!!
Laguz indicates a need to see some humor in a situation. Someone left something where they shouldn't have, it was collected, and brought back to the office to determine what to do with the container and its contents. Labeled with the owner's name, we can't contact the owner through conventional means, and it turns out the container is empty so the owner wouldn't really care, anyway. I know those who stumble across this post won't get it because I can't give details and specifics, but it was pretty darned funny. If that wasn't enough, studying the human and its reactions to events and other humans' choices is pretty darned entertaining as well. For claiming to be rational critters, we are ruled by our emotions all too often.
Mannaz is where we start and when we enter into the world we are shown loving kindness. Be kind to all. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your Self. Be kind. You never know when the action will be returned. Nor do you ever know when you will need just a tiny bit of kindness from someone to make your life worth living. Be kind.
Thurisa is the task for tonight. I am standing upon the doorway to a new life, a new self. I am pausing to look back upon life up until now, gathering my lessons learned, the great memories, the successes, the failures, and the little things in between. All these things I am gathering and releasing them to the world. I am preparing to open myself to something new, a new path. I am saving the wisdom I have gained, willing to gain more in different areas and willing to share the knowledge I have gained with others. I am compromising with the Self and others to refrain from pushing my will and instead am willing to watch and time my actions in accord with my habitat and the energies around me and others. I am willing to wait; however, as I wait, I will be in action: preparing a new canvas for my new colors and brush strokes as I move forward. Now is the time to repair instead of forging ahead blindly.
