LIR SW June 2015 (for the Spirit Wise Newsletter)

NaihwazR & EihwazR

Things are changing fast. It seems we make a decision and then a whole new set of possibilities opens up.  Whether it's technology or food or fashion (or gas prices), there are no ceilings.

So perhaps, say NaihwazR & EihwazR, it's a good month to practice adaptability, flexibiity. Playability?

NaihwazR says we don't need to stick with just what we have - we can explore a little, splurge a little, try a little, play a little.  EihwazR says we don't have to do things strictly for the long term, or even to expand our dreams. We don't have to balance practical and desirable. We can play a little.

Between them, we get a picture of taking each day as it comes. Trying new things. Doing something that brings happiness in the moment irrelevant to long term goals.  Letting the feelings of the day, the weather, the schedule, the truths, and the curiosities choose how you will practice, how you will grow your dreams. Loosen the reigns, relax the plans, and explore. Play.

Naturally, you want to follow your truth of the moment. The runes aren't advising us to throw our dreams out the window and run amuck. No. But in June, even the flow of society changes because of vacations & reruns & closed schools. Staying indoors, staying "on task" might be difficult. And it is entirely possible that allowing the play, the flexibility, the possibilities into our work will spark new ideas for growth, for dreams. Because, if you're like me, you're always working on your dream, connecting with your goal, even when you relax or look away.

So let's not be stodgy and tied down by the "needful" and the careful balancing of worlds. Let's be nice to ourselves. Let the sunshine in. Use a purple crayon. Do a little dance. Release the kraken! Throw off the shackles & run naked…

Ahem. I mean, Let's Play!

I hope you have a great (and responsibly playful) month.
