LIR 41515 - No Rune



Yup, again. Another good day to expect the basics. Stick to your truths. Just take one step at a time. And remember. It's practice. It's all practice.

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

I think the last time the rune came up as no rune, I had the same challenge I faced with this day. Groggy, plan for the day all twisted up. Not inclined to do anything! Definately a time for practice.

Happily, my peeps helped me over the hurdle - one friend talked about having the same issues (lying back or stepping forward); and another refused to validate my need to be a couch potato. So, yesterday I worked through it. And I'm so glad I did! I have a project which really needs finishing tomorrow (preferably today) and I did a big chunk of it yesterday.

Further happiness, this two week span (from day off to day off) has been more productive, on the whole, than previous 2 week spans. I often get to the middle and throw my hands up in the air and laze around. This set, I only sat mindlessly in front of the tv for a 1/2 day. I think.

Well. I choose to believe this is so. I choose to believe my stamina is increasing. Because that is what I need for the future.

So, no rune for me is coming to mean, keep your nose to the grind stone. You're going to have enough challenge just focusing on the basics. 

Moving on!

I hope you have a great day!

LIR 73114 - DagazR far off the mat


Today’s driving force may be an instinctive fear or hope that time is running away from you.  But whether your deadline is tomorrow or next year, your best pace is the one which enables you to do your best.  

Time is only fleeting when we categorize it. Now is eternal.

***************************************************
Okay, okay.  But the pressure of passing time is a hard one to resist dramatizing!

And it's difficult to know, sometimes, if the pressure is an actual - um, you need to get this done!  versus the - go, go, go, faster, faster, faster general feeling of the current pack mind.

I do feel that things are moving faster; that the inertia of traumatic change has become the wave of reaction.  And it's pretty easy to get swept along.

But, still and always, no matter what's going on around me, the things I need to know, need to achieve, have to do with MY situation and not anyone else's.  Running just to stay in place is counter productive if I don't want to be in a specific place at all.  And if I focus on the time it's going to take, or the time that has passed, I won't be focusing on the situation itself, and it may never be resolved to my satisfaction.

Now, the rune itself was very far off the mat... it rolled across the table, over the edge, and might have continued if it hadn't gotten tangled in computer cords.   Which means this is a deep, deep compulsion the Universe just wanted us to be aware of.  Which explains why I don't really have anything concrete to use as an interpretation for yesterday.

Or maybe the important part for me is that the rune did get tangled in computer cords.  Because in this job search, and knowing how quickly technology changes, maybe I fear, deep deep down, that I am not smart enough, agile enough to keep up with the "improvements".

And perhaps it's all irrelevant... the why, and what do I fear.  The important part, as usual, is the focus of the situation, the job, the truth, the accomplishment of happiness.  Not the time it takes to get there, but the goal, every day, of stepping toward it.  Of putting energy into it.  Of letting achievement be the pressure instead of strictures of time and space.

Today is about what you can do for yourself. It’s not about the clan or family, regardless of how you love them.
Do it for yourself.

I hope you have a great day!

LIR 3414 - Naihwaz



The objective is in sight and all the necessary tools are in your possession.  To achieve your goal, all you have to do is keep focus and keep moving forward.

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

I had difficulty with this one, because the question became, which goal am I trying to keep in focus?  There are sinus issues, which make me want to sleep and heal; and there are work goals, which need energy and focus; and there are the moving goals, which require some planning and exertion.

So I'll admit, this reading didn't feel that helpful.  I could have used more clarification on which issue to focus on.

Today is a good day to reflect on the clan's triumphs & sorrows.  Celebrate the past so we can move cleanly into the future.

I hope you have a great day!
