LIR 32415 - Gebo

Things may not always look equal, because we each have different perceptions of what is hard. But today, if you're wondering…

Are things balanced? Yes.  Every aspect is supporting the project or relationship equally.

How much should I contribute? An equal amount. No less; certainly no more. Let every part or person in the project / group contribute their own share.

******************************************************

Hello. I'd like to welcome me back to the daily rune readings. I have very high hopes this will become more consistent in posting again.

The balance thing has been relevant to me today in the application of energy to different, concurrent projects.

Part of my struggle through the transformational stages of these last few years has been in answer to that age old question, what do I want to be when I grow up? Because, ta da, I'm finally in the stage of stepping into the personal responsibility and leadership roles I attribute to grown ups, and yet, I still have no solid answer to the question "What do you do?" And a reluctance to give up any of my joys, or to slight one skill by lauding another.

What do I do? I write. I sing. I read runes. I teach. I coach. I dance. I wash. I plant. I pay. I budget. I drive. I think. I practice. I am.

So, when it comes down to how to plan my day - and I have learned how to merge the ideal plan with what I actually do (yay me!) - to which aspect of all my "do's" do I give the most time?

And the answer is, to none. As they are all things I want to do, they are all things that deserve equal attention. Yes, even the dish washing. And the dancing to Pink & Eminem. And the writing these posts. And the household administrative duties. And. And. And. I have already winnowed out all the things I don't have as much passion for. What is left requires & deserves all of my focus at the time.

It is reminiscent of juggling I suppose. But my focus does not multi-task. True, I can sing while I wash dishes, or crochet while I'm watching tv, but only one of those things is getting my full, cognitive, attention.

So, if my stitches are even, please don't ask me about the plot of the latest NCIS episode.

I hope you have a great day!
