In this situation, you are the linchpin, the bridge between multiple worlds. What does each world require? What does each have to dispense? And what is the best balance for all worlds?

Remember, you are not the supplier of the energy. You are the conductor.

 Question  - do you wish to straddle multiple worlds?

 Maintain your energy, your boundaries, your truth.

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

Ha. There are so many ways this applied today.

Let's just look at the physical world- in my neighborhood, a spring storm is covering the land... that's a bridge between the two worlds of wonderful winter and glorious summer. (yes, one of those words was sarcastic.)

Next, let's look at a specific point in the day - I belong to a writers group. It was started many years ago by a friend & colleague. Over time, I became the one to keep it going. Now it is morphing again. We want it to be a group which feeds our needs as writers, which means consistency and growth. And also requires a definite facilitator. A conductor. A straddler of worlds. Did I want the job?
Heck no! I love writing. And I love the group because it keeps me motivated to write. But I have so many other things I love ... I want to flit in and out. So no conductorship for me, thank you very much. Besides, the gentleman who will be the facilitator is obviously the best choice for it.  He already has so many ideas, if I weren't a group member, I'd want to be.

So we move onto the day in the life of Lila - where I most definitely AM the conductor. I have multiple skills and, multiple audiences (reader, client, actual listening audience). As well as being the energy producer, I need to be outside the picture to ensure the flow of energy from worker to production is equal and necessary. Which aspects need to be done at a certain time? Do I really need to schedule 3 hours to browse the bookstore? Have I taken a lunch break yet?

The most exciting thing about today was how the answers varied for each situation. If there even was a question (in the case of the weather.) How there was a yes in one area of world straddling, but a no in the other.

And also a bittersweet no - when it came to deciding if I wanted to add more singing. I mean, oh yes I do! But, I want to keep all the worlds and skills I'm currently committed to, so I just don't have the energy to add another.

Yet.

There's always tomorrow. *G*.

I hope you have a great day!

Why is this happening?  Maybe you're the energetic bridge between two disparate worlds.  Is this a happy thing, in your truth, or a frustrating one?  You choose - to continue, or to cut it off.

The day of this rune, I went to bed thinking, huh.  Nothing really happened to make me feel like a bridge.

When I woke up, all I wanted to do was nothing.  Nothing at all.  I was drained and dragging and tired.

So maybe, underneath, hidden away, I was being an energetic bridge to or for something or someone.   Or multiple things. At least I know it wouldn't have happened without my permission, on some level, so it was for my greatest and highest good.  

But boy did it crimp my plans yesterday.  Instead of working industriously on my taxes, I watched Sex and the City.  And ate soup.  Yum.  Oh, and rediscovered fried egg sandwiches. Also yum.  Which surely must also have been for the best, right?

So.  We'll see what this day brings.

It may feel like there's a storm on the horizon, but it's nothing more than hot air.  "Enhance your calm" and keep moving forward at your own steady pace.  Some people need to vent, yes, but there's no need to get sucked into drama that's not your own.

I hope you have a great day!

Today is a day to step back and view the bigger picture; how can you balance your truths with the truths of another - be it another person, or you from another time?

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

I have been married and/or in a partner relationship with one person for more than 20 years.  Such a length of time creates patterns.  One person rubs off on the other.  It creates ways of thinking and feeling that you (or I) might not otherwise have thought or felt.

It also creates a sense of one-ship.  Two become one.  The eternal and sometimes annoying "we" of the couple.  Which means, one member of the couple often assumes her/his feelings and preferences do belong to "we".  But this is not always the case.

Last night I bridge the truths between myself and my husband by asking a question.  Just one question.  And I found out his answer was not the same as mine.

  I want to travel, possibly even move out of state.
  He doesn't.

This is where the hunter steps in.  This is where we take a step back from the needs and desires (and devastating shock) of the moment, and take a good long look at the whole world view.  This is where I look at what I think I want, and what I think he wants, and build a bridge between.

Moving out of state is probably out of the question, though... having a second home somewhere might be acceptable.

I can travel wherever and whenever I want.  By myself.

I can get a job that requires me to travel.

And he can create a happy little nest for me to return to.  After all, though I secretly enjoy laundry and I do have the occasional clean fanaticism (usually right before rituals), I am not a happy homemaker.

The trick is not to view the situation as rigid, but as fluid.  Like the sand pictures.  This picture looks lovely, but that color doesn't really want to be there.  So what if we tilt the picture, and send the color over here?  Huh.  That looks pretty cool also!

Yes, your news if life changing!  Keep going!  Ride that wave of energy to further production.  You'll have even more to celebrate later.

I hope you have a great day!
