Fehu, Teiwaz, and Hagalaz ruled the day.
Fehu is your possessions. I woke up not feeling well and then a headache. Ever wonder how that is your possessions? The day progressed to a dinner invite and, there the possessions snuck in. I know I can't own people, yet, knowing someone whom you have a history with (no matter how small) is in the same town you are in can be a boost to your self. To share things about a place you lived with someone who is familiar with the area while sipping a beer on a porch is, just, well, heart warming.
Teiwaz was a great warrior and any great warrior possesses courage. Today's courage was to enter a situation that may not have been the best. To face the unknown with a straight back (and a headache that never quite went away) and a determined step can test the courage of any person.
Hagalaz advises a person to address the challenges in ones life. Unknowing if one will receive a warm welcome. Unknowing if an idea has merit. Unknowing if the path you are on is a viable one, a successful one... Many challenges are faced by a variety of people on a daily basis.
Dagaz is the task for tonight. A breakthrough begins with hope and requires a purpose in order to complete either task. How can you have a breakthrough without a purpose? What does hope serve other than a purpose? Identify the purpose then focus upon the steps needed to complete the purpose. Undertake the steps willingly and have hope for the process, the tasks, and the things you will learn. After all, when everything is truly boiled down, it is the things we learn that make life what it is.
