Today, others may want to nurture you: tough love, shelter, the extra piece of chocolate. Will you accept?
***************
This morning, I used this rune reading to remind myself to give a little extra attention when I was actually dealing with real live persons, especially young ones.
This evening, my first thought upon examining my day was "no, sigh. No one nurtured me today." Then I realized that was false.
It's true there were no overt moments of nurturing. No serious sit down discussions; no unicorn shaped cakes with my name on. No foot rubs.
What there were, was?, um...
...what I had were small moments. An offer to cook a little extra to share with me. A sentence or two spoken from a person's truth. A shared joke. Singing together while the trombone played. Even a picture on Facebook.
No big fireworks, but, like yesterday, little moments that lend strength to personal bonds. Little nuggets to think on. Little fireflies in the darkness of communication.
Maybe that is what this next cycle will be about. Witnessing, and celebrating, the little moments.
I hope you have a great day!
