LIR Weekly 5615 - EihwazR, EhwazR, JeraR, Perthro

I forgot to take a picture when I did the reading, so I'm hoping to link to the video. 

Runes are read from bottom to top

From the position of the runes (EihwazR being below the chain,) it appears this is a continuation of last week's work with projects or divisible worlds - worlds which need bridges, connections. Last week we decided if they needed bridges, or if it was better to let them - each world, each part of the project, each section of the choir - work alone.

This week is a good time to look at those disparate worlds and see what it is that keeps them from flowing together. Is every part operating under the same goals, the same culture, the same language? Is everyone singing the same song? Comparison and judgment can be good tools.

And, again, do you (do we, do I) want it to be in flow? Is the discordant effect wrong, or right for the truth we're seeking?

This week will probably not produce anything, for all the work and effort we're putting into this project; perhaps it's not time for it to produce anything yet. (so, don't sing the song for the public, don't present the report). There may be another question to ask. Is all this work worth the expected harvest?

It is a good time to get some outside opinions, however. A dress rehearsal, beta testing, or even taking a perception of the project(s) from the overview, instead of from the inside. Recording, practicing, seeing the piece as a whole can help wiggle out where some tuning might be helpful.

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

Of course, my own insecurities do pop up immediately - OH NO! What am I doing wrong? Why won't it fit together? Why doesn't anything go the way I want it to?

Then my inner coach gives me my pillow pet and reminds me, there are no mistakes. This is all practice. Big and small, stage show and outfit, final test for college and new business launch. You can only do what you can do. I cannot do your best. You cannot do my best. WE can each only do our best. So how much do I want to give to this project, regardless of its production value? How much time, energy, love, passion, do I want to exert?

And when I put it that way, I can think of a few situations which might fall into this reading very nicely. I'll have to think about the outside influence though. That's something which will require practice… well, I guess it depends on which situation I'm in.

Hmm. I wonder if I can apply the accepting attitude of a place where I request outside information (like voice lessons) to the places I don't want it so much (like when I'm talking about writing and everyone wants to tell me how to get things published.)

Thank you, and I hope you have a Great week!

So you can’t exactly see the form the harvest will take. Keep working! Keep gathering. Keep believing it will be the brightest & happiest possible return. 

Your truth guides your reality.

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

It didn't exactly form as I expected, but it really followed through.  

And it's very interesting what we consider harvest.  What I consider Harvest.  Harvest is really outcome, isn't it?  Consequence?  Return on the energy?  So, many of the things I spent energy on yesterday not only had a different return than expected, they didn't need the energy requirements I expected.

For example, I have a monthly date with a friend - I consider it a networking meeting because I  receive awesome inspiration and give the awesomeness of my talents in return.  This month, an unexpected friend joined us.  Obviously, with a different energy in the flow, the outcome was different.  The topics covered were sometimes different, a new point of view and perspective was introduced, and new, different inspirations were gained.

But there's no need for me to sit, at the end of the day, and sort out her inspirations from his inspirations, nor to place value on either person's ideas.   I have given of my talents.  I have energy and inspiration from others' talents in return.

Productivity was also a focus.

I enjoy to sit and discuss things, talk them out, preferably making a ritual of it - a time and place, with food and drink.  But last night, when I suggested making a formal discussion out of my momentous inspiration, it was declined.  The preference was to keep talking while we went about our chores.  

Which really drove home this point for me:  the flow right now doesn't necessarily have time, or the energy, for ritual discussion.  We're in the harvest, getting things done, really exerting our energy, and so we have revelations on the fly.  We are in the middle of our dreams and ideas  -  not at the beginning, not at the debriefing end, but the middle.    Setting up a formal meeting could steal momentum.  Better to keep moving forward while talking it out for five minutes.

So that was my day... moving forward truth by truth, and allowing myself to connect with new energies and being open to the harvest results.  How was yours?

Today’s choice(s) might be influenced by the hope or fear you are just like your [mother, father, grandparent, Great Cousin, insert ancestral connection here.]

The similarity is irrelevant. Are You Happy with the trait? Accept & adapt, practice ‘til the answer is yes, & move forward.

I hope you have a great day!

It may feel like you're not receiving the equivalent of the energy you put out, particularly in communications.  Remember, the harvest isn't all in yet.  Tomorrow is another day.

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

Communications wise, I can see how this applied to a friend, yesterday.  His perception led him to expect the conversation to go one way, when it didn't go anywhere at all.

For me personally, yesterday was much more about the physical harvest as relates to health.  It seems I put a lot of time and energy into thinking about my health and my body in general, and yet haven't received the results I expected.  Like taking medication and not having it work the way I hoped.

Was the seed not planted soon enough (ie: the meds not taken in a timely fashion)?  Have i not waited a long enough time?  Is more care required?

Well, like I said, today is another day.

I hope you're having a great one!

It seems the harvest is elusive.  It may not be quite time to reap.  Or, the produce may appear different than expected.  Either way, you choose what you will accept.

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

Hmmph.  Well.  The harvest itself is not feeling elusive...  because of the reading, I relaxed yesterday and allowed everything to be a step toward my goals, or an unanticipated result of all my hard work.  Sometimes it's all about perspective.

What was elusive, until I thought that last line (just now), was my mouse - which has flowers and leaves on it.  I was going to type about my search for it, and how I looked -- not in all possible places, otherwise I would have found it, but in all places I thought it could possibly be.  However, I shall type about the finding of it instead.

As I type, I have a habit of glancing around the room, as if looking away from the screen triggers the thoughts; or as if watching the words appear on the screen inhibits further words.  (And it feels pretty cool to type while appearing to pay attention to something else.)  So, I was looking down at the floor when I typed the line about perspective. I saw a shelf.  I realized I hadn't actually looked under that shelf.  I'd looked behind it, but not under it.

And there was my mouse.  Under the shelf.  Yay!

So, my harvest feels bountiful, with anticipation of more to come.  I am happy.

Since today is a festival day for Americans (which means me), I am going to take a day off from rune pulling.  There will be no rune blog tomorrow.  However, there has already been much introspection and ruminating, and when I happy I love to express myself, so keep an eye on the "meanderings" blog.  There may be MORE harvest!

I hope you have great day!
