LIR 91515 Weekly - No Rune

Yes, it's our friendly No Rune again. Yay! This means another good week to practice our tools.

Last week was about ripples. It may have felt like a small ripple. It may have been a big one. You may not be sure what the ripple was. Regardless, we reacted and acted, chose, and moved forward. And created new ripples.

These ripples may involve new tools, new possibilities, new muscles.

So this week, we practice the basics again, with this new element added. Rather like a dance or a program. Step by step we move until we are comfortable with our form, or sure that the program runs smoothly. Then, consciously, we add another step. And we check again to make sure it's running smoothly, that the form is comfortable.

It may feel like starting over, but it's actually a continuation. The best way to ensure a solid foundation is to test the basics. I expect you'll notice that many parts are easier, though there are probably one or two you'll need to really focus on again. (If you're like me, there always are.).

No Rune - you know the drill. Breathe, step, breathe, step. New steps, possibly. New muscles, even. But it's still about your choice. Your truth. Your happiness. Step by step.

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

Seriously, how difficult was it to move this morning?

It wasn't that I wanted to stay in bed, exactly, it was just that getting out of bed, moving through my morning ritual, even getting myself working required conscious effort. So I am very partial to the "new muscles" interpretation of the reading. And I am grateful for another week to practice. Because I for one have had a few new things either come in or open up.

We are always influenced by outside forces. Always. Even the song we hear faintly in the distance sets up a response in our brains. We react to thing automatically all the time. It's the conscious reactions which take work. And though it feels like we're (I'm) making the choice over and over to move forward in XYZ, I wonder if I'm (we're?) actually trying to wimp out. After all, if I sit down and meditate over my choices yet again, I won't have to actually do anything. And my muscles won't be so sore. Right?

Well, I hear that the best, true way to keep your muscles from being sore is to use them until they are strong enough to do the work. If I sit yet another day, that would be like starting over. And I don't want to start over. I want to keep going. My body isn't a temple, my body is a workhorse. So is my mind. And my spirit. We are most energized when we're doing. 

So, today I may be doing a little slower. But I'm still gonna be doing. And not at all watching that clock, counting my breaths until I get to officially take a break. Not at all.

I hope you have a great week,

-Lila

Life in Runes 81215 weekly - No Rune (and Iubhar)

Yay us! We are still heading in the right direction.

But you know I don't like receiving No Rune twice in a row. So I pulled an Ogham card to supplement.

The card was Iubhar (the yew tree). Iubhar is about transitions, life cycles, and rebirth.



Yew and No Rune are telling us to remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Nor was the land it occupies barren and perfectly prepped for its creation. When we build things, create things, start new things, we also demolish things, uncreate things, end old things. It is a natural cycle.

So we keep taking steps forward, and using our tools. We destroy the old ruts, and we create new ones. We turn cloth into clothes one action at a time. The Enterprise's replicators had to be programmed, step by step, to create the perfect cup of "Earl Grey, hot." Even the program I'm using right now to communicate with you was created by the laborious step by step of someone else.

But we are building our Romes. Step by step. We are in the middle of it. We are moving forward. We are creating our realities.

So yay us! Really. We're still stepping. We don't as a group, need any other advice than to keep stepping. And yeah, we might sometimes be stepping in it, but that just means our soil is fertile, right? Right.

Cycle on, my peoples.

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

Yup, another week. I'll admit to some exhaustion. Perhaps a few muscles feeling over-worked. But mostly, I'm feeling excited. I am getting things done. I am taking the steps. They aren't always easy… self-confidence really requires some work, sometimes. But my world view has helped me a lot. Accepting others for themselves, allowing others to be themselves, really helps me believe in the equality of everyone, even me.  A tool I used to use was, "I have as much right to ask my questions as anyone else."

Now, my tool has changed to, "The person on the other end of the (phone, email, counter, etc.) is just as human as I." I can't exactly explain why this phrasing works, but it does. Because humans want to connect? Because it gives me permission NOT to have all the answers? Permission to seek help?

And while I am looking forward to having this drudge work under control, I am enjoying the step by step this week. Because the steps bring about results. And I know the path leads to an awesome creation.

I hope you're having a great week!

LIR 7115 Weekly - No Rune

Things are moving along so it's time to revisit the basics.

Are you using your tools? Are you living your truth? Are you "working the moment" with your greatest and highest happiness in mind?

Sometimes as we race through projects, or get bogged down by all the bits and pieces running together, we can fall into old patterns. So this week, as we continue to move forward, let's take a moment to review.

Am I breathing?
Am I listening to myself?
Am I doing this, choosing that, because it will bring me happiness?
Am I agreeing? Or am I going along? Am I listening to me, or what I think someone else wants?
If my choices were limitless, would I still be doing it this way?

Remember, at the end of the day, and even in the middle of it, you are the only person who is responsible for your actions. The buck stops with you. You choose. You do. You get to choose how you do and what you do and even why you do. 

So, take a step back. Take a deep breath. Is there anything you've forgotten in the rush of passion?

I want to watch the video!

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

Grrr. Aaarrgh.  Blessed unhelpful runes. Excuse me while I go tear my hair out and practice what I preach.

Ding dang double dad gum.

-L

Okay, I'm back. Yeah, I let myself get tangled in the would haves and should haves. Having just sent out my monthly newsletter asking for money, I got sucked into the "Productive Income" and earnings level… you know, do more! Do more! Do More!!!

This rune was not advice to add or expand any of my services yet… it was instead a reminder to "put your oxygen mask on first."

Focus on skills is awesome. Focus on goals is wonderful. And oh, the dreams I am manifesting. But there are still basics to deal with. Like food to eat. Yearly check ups. Cars with flat tires. So, pay attention to the basics. 

And for me, that very much ties in to the monthly reading, about settling my foundation. And not letting myself get caught up in the "Oh, but…" or "perhaps I should be… "

I believe in myself. I am my foundation. Therefore, it behooves me to ensure I am in good condition. After all, my heart and lungs and stamina have to be in working order if I want to travel ALL over the world!

So thanks to all who are part of my foundation.

And I hope you (all) have a great day!

LIR Gemini 2015 - No Rune, with Ur (Ogham)

So, this coming month is going to be one of practice. Focusing on our truths, on the steps and rituals and habits which bring us happiness in every moment. There is no general storm, or transition period, or bridge to cross. Just practice, as each moment arrives, as each event unfolds, as each question comes up. Breath, find your truth, your balance, and move, speak, act, be.

Of course, the reason we call these things practice is because we're still working out what form of behavior, action, or speech brings us happiness. If you're like me, there are plenty of opportunities to practice and improve, each time coming closer to a moment, a behavior, a response or action which brings you that deep sense of beauty and rightness. Happily, if you're like me, there are more moments of beauty now than there were a month ago, but there are still plenty of places to practice.

So Ur (which is Ogham for Heather) is going to pop in - through dreams, sparks of inspiration, the careless word of another, a passage in a book or show - and give us a little sparkle to add to our practice. A little twitch to help bring more beauty to the truth. A little nudge to get us exactly on the pitch we're striving for. Yay, Ur!

The trick to playing with Ur is to allow it to be an addition to the practice, and not the basis of the practice. For example, the rune reading this month is still the rune reading. The addition of the Ogham gives it a little more depth. I will not be switching to Ogham readings all the time.

So, let each moment be what it is. Remember your personal version of grounding (mine is: step back, breathe, center, and find my truth of the moment.) Practice it in every situation, let it be flexible in every situation. See how the inspiration nudges, see if you like it. Just because you think of something doesn't mean you have to do it. Or that it's right for you!

Practice makes anything possible.

video is available HERE

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

Personally, I'm looking forward to a quiet month of practice. I have plenty of things to practice on, and I expect, as I practice they will become easier to do, and therefore less looming! Which will finally leave  me time for practicing what I really want to do - more writing, more singing, more coaching, MORE!

I hope you have a great month!

-Lila

LIR 41715 No Rune / Ogham Nion (Ash)

Yes, continue to work on the basics. Keep practicing.

Remember, each moment is its own moment. Does each moment represent your full truth? Spiritual, political, emotional, physical?

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

You might check out my Meanderings page for my latest rant about moments. The last few days have been challenging.

I refuse to believe that, at the base, we (humans) are simply creatures of pain and chaos, undeserving of any good fortune except through the hands of the Universe. That feels ugly, heavy, and irresponsible.

But I am unable to deny that some days, it is better to just go back to bed. That sometimes the truth of the moment is, "I feel like a bag of shards, and I don't want to play today."

It is so difficult to accept that. We struggle against it automatically, especially those of us who are optimistic.

But we feel what we feel, and denying the pain, or the sulk, or the indifference, is denying ourselves.

So, yesterday I accepted my pity party. I revelled in it. I became a full participant. I actually woke up happy this morning.

But some of the effort is coming back, so today will be a definite day of practicing.

The basics of the truth I am practicing is accepting the times when I'm not full stream ahead. I don't know quite how to meld the acceptance of grumpy into the happiness I prefer, but I do know the acceptance is the first step.

I don't seem to be expressing it properly. 

Um, the truth of this moment is full of a myriad of components - mixing both my desire and my reality, my emotional and my spiritual state, and, most importantly, acknowledging what my physical body can do in this moment. It's not stating defeat. (There is no defeat.). It's not even saying "It shall be this way forever." I used the words give up and give in yesterday, but it's really about accepting the current situation. Feeling every part of it. Breathing it in. Giving attention to all the facets. Then, changing them.

Because I can't affect anything until I acknowledge it exists. I can't fully accept something until I allow it to be what it is, in all it's fullness.

Here's another view: When I go into a new situation, I remove expectation of it and myself. I have no idea what is going to happen. I have no idea what it's going to be like. I will allow it to be. And allow myself to react accordingly, without prejudgement.

Perhaps EVERY DAY is a new situation. 


I hope you have a great day!
-Lila

LIR 41615 - No Rune / Ogham Ngetal (Reed)

What part of your quest, journey, situation requires planning? and which part can just be done?  Today might be a good day to get those plans on paper, so when it's time to go you can just go.

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

Yup, another No Rune pull, so I switched to Ogham. Not to negate my need to practice, but I feel there should be more to offer. I don't like having nothing to say. *G*.

I actually expected my work yesterday to focus on the budget we're trying to create - which is a lot like making a day plan. There's the ideal, and then there's the actual. Did I know I spent so much money on tea? Well, yes, yes I did. Happily, I have learned I can't drink more than 1 kind of tea at a time, and the market is close by, so I don't need to shop on the contingency plan (what if I want this?!). I can shop on the truth plan (this is what I want today.)

The truth plan also works for checking books out of the library, buying  shoes, and in a very broad sense, buying cars. In fact, which so many things quickly available for most of us, there's little need to look further than the next few days when it comes to the daily objects in our lives.

But I digress. I had expected to budget (and boy, am I looking forward to the day where money doesn't rule everyone's life. It will be so wonderful to just be, and do, as desired without having to plot and plan and take 40 different things into account.) Instead, I ended up finishing another project which needed to be done today - but it would still be considered paperwork. So that was pretty cool. I'm really glad I focused, bore down and got it done yesterday.

I think I don't like to budget, really. It is constrictive thinking. Limiting. It clashes with my beliefs in constant, abundant energy.

Hmm. I have to wonder off and write an article now, which I hope will be in my Newsletter (by which I mean, I hope I actually get the Newsletter sent this moon.)

I hope you have a great day!
-Lila

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!

-Lila

LIR 41114 No Rune

Yay, everything is moving smoothly!

 You have enough information; 

and if you have a question, you also have the answer.

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

Hmm. I don't know about smoothly. I would really like to practice getting to bed sooner so I can get out of bed sooner. I prefer having 2 to 3 hours to wake up and stretch all my muscles, including my brain. And my body obviously prefers to have 8 to 10 hours to sleep. Dilemma. Then there's the 6 to 12 hours worth of production I'd like to achieve in a day. Oh, yeah. No problem. That's 24. Why am I so behind?

Oh, maybe it's because there's other people involved in my life. Or my life involves other people. What!ever.

Even with the reluctant beginning, I did start my "work" day on time. And I do feel I have accomplished much. Including an interesting meditation - which I postponed on impulse, doing a different task instead. Which enabled me to answer a call, and then do meditation uninterrupted. Yay me, for interpreting my questions and answers correctly.

This practice is so exciting, isn't it? Every day things fall into place, more things work and other things change, and when it "just works", it's amazing. And the most amazing part is the feeling while we're doing it...not excited, really; not nervous; certainly not disbelieving... but casual and powerful at the same time.

A very good day.

I hope today is even better!
-Lila

LIR 32915 - No Rune

Looks like everything is  moving along smoothly. And we know what we're doing. 

So let's keep practicing our truths, and take time to appreciate every moment.

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

It was an interesting day. And one of practicing different forms of adaptability. But, for all the disjointedness of it - nothing quite followed my daily calendar today - it was a good day. Nothing really required a lot of extra work or attention or focus.

So, yay! Happy day!

I hope you had a great day, too!

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

Yay!  I know what i'm doing!

So of course I wonder if I should pull a rune today.  Keep moving forward?  Or see if there's a thought for the day.

And since I'm feeling a little unsure, I am going to pull.  Let's see IF there is any advice, question, answer, focus group for today.

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

LIR 81914 - JeraR, DagazR

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.

LIR 81114 - No Rune

Says the Universe, “I think you have enough to process right now; You need no further input from me!”

Breathe. Step. Breathe. Step. We’ll get there.

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

Oh, thank goodness.

And wasn't that the truth!  Between the dis-ease of the body and organization project, I felt over full in expectations.

Happily, the body is already through coping and heading back toward healthy, and the organization project, while still underway, now has room for the reality I'd prefer to return.  One step at a time.  Practice, practice, practice.

And I really miss blogging things!  I really do.

so, let's see what the truth of today is.  What is the truth of today?  Perhaps more concise...  let's see the truth for today.  *G*  (Except it's really just advice on how to approach our truth for the day.  Or practice it.  Or....)

Yes, No Rune again today.

 This could mean any or all of the following:

2) I, Lila, am too focused on my own stuff to interpret correctly for the general reading.
3) today is a day for individual readings, choices, mentality. In which case, please check out my offer on fiverr.com. *g*  http://www.fiverr.com/unicallen/rune-your-life-for-5-days

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

Oh my aching...!

Have I thanked you lately for your readership?  I get multiple page views a day, so it feels I am talking to someone.  Which helps.  A lot.

Yesterday was quite interesting.  First, before I pulled the rune (or lack thereof,) I had a thought...  "today, it's about the question."  That was followed by, "Which sounds personal.  So focus on the general first, and we'll work on the specific second."

Which I did.  And I/we received the above reading.

Then, I did my personal reading.  The question of the day was Naihwaz.  Which I interpreted as, "What do you need?"

The immediate reply was, "money."

And oh my goodness, why is that so hard to say out loud?  (Or type in public, whichever.)  Money money money money money money money money money.

I want money.  I need money.  Love it.  Own it.  Admit it.  I LIKE money.

I immediately want to go into a long discourse about how I like money for more than just it's spendability, which is true.  I like dispensing money.  I like being a cashier and giving exact change.  I like being a bookkeeper and  putting the numbers in their spot.  I just like money.  But, for these purposes right here, it's not about the appreciation of money as a source of energy on its own.

It's about having money.  A source of income.  More inflow than outflow.  Money money money.  "When I am a rich woman, ya da dida dida dida dida dida dida dum."

As I type this, I realize it might not be the most reassuring post.  I have recently started applying to banks - because I want to combine customer service with money handling.  And of course these posts are public record, which  means I might appear a little less stable than the preferred bank teller should be.  *wry grin*.  But, in an interview I hope I would say the same thing.  I like money.  I respect it.  And, just like energy, I would never be able to take or use money that isn't mine.  That's just... wrong.  Dirty.  Heavy.  Bad karma.

But I would be quite happy to earn my own money while being the caretaker of others'.  Bring it in!  Pay my bills, buy fun stuff, and still have money!

Of course, there are other options for money to flow into my life.  I have 3 books out there waiting for purchase.  I have fiver gigs.  I am quite open to grants and donations.  And my brain teems with ideas for earning and using and keeping the flow of money going around and around.  I need money.  I want money.  Money will help me feel happy.

But....  yesterday was not JUST about money.

What do you need?  Getting ready for voice lessons, I  prepared my music, my checkbook, and the items I would need for errands afterward.  I tried to download a music file so I could practice my song on the way.  I also wanted a set of warm up exercises, but I couldn't find anything easily transferrable to my phone.

I left the house knowing I had forgotten something.  I went back and checked the locks, refilled the water, checked my phone.

When I arrived, I didn't have my music.

I berated myself for a minute.  But being without my music actually led to an interesting lesson in storytelling, something very important to me.  And I received some exercises.  I have what I need.  And moreover, what I want.  Which included reassurances about both my teacher and myself.

Even the store had the swimsuit items I "needed".  It took a little hunting, but they were there.  As soon as I decide what I really wanted.

And I wonder, with excitement and anticipation, what others things did I do yesterday, like filling in my Linkedin info, or searching more banks for jobs, or answering emails, or keeping the doors open, which will provide what I want and need?

I do hope your day was as inspiring and personal!  Now, let's see what's happening today.

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

LIR 71514 - Taiwaz, Sowelo

Question of the day:

what choices will lead to happiness & success?

which sacrifices are worth it?

I hope you have a great day!
-Lila

LIR 71314 - No Rune

"You’ve got this covered.
 Anyway, I’m busy."
 Love, the Universe.

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

I admit it.  My first reaction was, oh, goody.  An easy day.  No prob.  La la la la la.

Except it wasn't exactly easy.

Not to say it was a day fraught with peril, or even complicated by mental issues.  But it was a busy day (which makes sense, since I am part of the Universe.)  A day of working and learning and expending energy.

And it was easy, in that I am happiest when I am doing things I know how to do.  And doing them well.

There were several interesting moments, including a snail rescue and a conversation with a spider, but the one i feel is most related to this reading is the following:

During quiet moments at retail, I put merchandise away.  There was one piece which had been at my register when I arrived.  I couldn't find the right place the first time.  Or the second time.  It was nearing the end of my shift when I went out to try again.  After pacing the department, I saw someone who worked there regularly and I thought to myself, "Well, I'm just going to have to ask for help."  A woman walked in front of me, bent down to grab something and walked away.  And there on the rack she grabbed from were the pieces which matched the one I was holding.

Express a need, manifest an answer.  Yup, I love being part of the Universe, even when it's busy.

Or perhaps especially then.

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

LIR 71414 - No Rune

Yes, No Rune again today. This could mean any or all of the following:

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

This was definitely advice, and not a prediction for yesterday.  The first part sent me into a tailspin of denial, because I have no idea what I'm doing!  It did spawn a few meanderings, which I hope to post on the "meanderings" page.

But finally, after a lot of mental beating against the walls, and trying various coping practices, I was able to quiet the mental chatter.  Slow and steady.  One day at a time.  It's not just something to help, it's a truth I prefer to live by.  How else do I, myself, be truly happy?  Even when I'm really good at something and the definition of slow is faster than it was a month ago, still, slow and steady in every movement, in every practice, in every thought.  Love today.  Trust myself.  And be the truth of the moment.

Slow and steady.  Okay.

Things don’t always flow in a sensible fashion, from past to future. Trust the intuitive leaps you make today!

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

And every day, I hope.

This last year or two, I have learned that one way to help me decide if I want to do something is to talk about it.  Often, just the fact of talking about it is enough to know what I really think about it.  Because if it's gone after it's been discussed, it was "just" a cool idea which would be fun to implement, but not something I really want to put energy into.  A form of putting the seeds into the ground of the universe and seeing what takes root.

So, the day of this reading, I was at retail and following some thoughts to their conclusions -  if what I want isn't out there, I can create it myself.  Just another version, really, of "if you want something done..." 

And for me, it's not, "if you want something done right."   If I want something done, then I should do it.  It's me who wants it done!  The ultimate form of manifestation, right there in the palm of my hands.  I want the laundry done, I go do the laundry.  Ta da!  Even the act of eating food made from someone else's hands requires an energy output.  Finding the place to eat, making the order, and exchanging money for services.  You manifested that meal, however you look at it.

So, I went out to dinner with my spouse and sat down and talked it out.  All the possibilities of how I could manifest my ideal day.  He did an excellent job listening.

Which brings us to yesterday's reading:

what are you thinking about?  focus on that today.  have fun!

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

Yesterday, what I was thinking about was happiness.  Through my day, as I did my readings and my retail and my relaxation, the happiness guru in me gave me a big long speech.  At first, I thought it meant I really wanted to be a motivational speaker!  (What makes you happy!?!)  And I would probably rock that, if I could find a way to get it started.

But as I was sitting on the couch with my spouse, watching television, I realized the answer was... being a lazy bum also makes me happy.  Having enough cash in the bank to enjoy, guilt free, a delicious meal and television of whatever quality.   Reading books (Oh!  I miss my library).  Planning vacations.  Playing computer games.  Admit it, Lila.  Be a woman, deserve your guru title, stand up and admit what makes you happy.  Relaxing and playing.

And yes, surprisingly to the selfish Lila, having my husband in a job which makes him happy, makes me happy.

So I applied for some bank jobs last night.  My favorite bank had some openings.  I've always wanted to work at a bank.  And I like the mental image of myself working in a bank.  And while I really appreciate the retail job getting me back into the world; and while I enjoy meeting people and making them feel good about themselves, or being cheerful and having fun;  the retail world does not feed me.  I would like to see if the banking world does.  It already has more growth options.

But I had a quandary.  I like the number 5.  And when I go into banking, I can put that work back under the 'Rithmatic heading of my business.  So what is the 5th R in my bag of abilities?  

And this is one of the ways posting the rune readings feeds me....  it answers questions.  I've already typed it. You've probably already guessed it.

So, let me introduce myself.  I am Lila Evans Allen, purveyor of the 5 R's.  Reading, Riting, 'Rithmatic, Rumination.  and Relaxation.

How can it get better than this?

Actually, the most interesting part about this reading, to me, is that I didn't have the time, space, mental energy to do readings the next few days.  So this one carried me through some very stress filled events.

Now stress, like trauma, isn't good or bad, it simply is different from the routine.  

But, I will say, these events were combinations of pleasant and "oh, really?"  Most of it was about information received relating to my heart attack.

The heart attack was many years ago.
The choices and events leading up to the heart attack were many years ago.
All those decisions are over and done with and irrelevant at this point, except for the consequences.  And this week I received more information about some of the consequences of the heart attack and the resulting medical procedures.

And I'll be honest, part of me wanted to sue someone.  I finally understand the impulse... it means someone else is to blame and i don't have to take responsibility for the possible future limitations.  But, the truth is, there is no one to sue.  Everyone did their best and made their choices of the moments according to their truths.  Especially myself.

So, I mourned and celebrated, because information received means having a specific focus for healing.  And it put some fears to rest.  So while grieving, I also celebrated.  Because, all my choices are right, right?  And i choose to heal fully, and I choose to refuse to be limited by my body.  I'm going to be one of those "miracle" people, who comes back from a major physical event better and stronger.  Because I choose to.

Another day of review, practice, perhaps a little relaxation - with contemplation brought to you by Othilo.

How have family values & traditions influenced your current truths?  Are they compatible?  Divergent?  Still part of the same "family"?

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

Admittedly, I didn't give this much thought at all.  

Though, now that I run through the past few days, I did receive some information about a family reunion.  It didn't immediately change my world, but it did give me something to think about.

But mostly, honestly, this last week I have been focusing on taking one breath at a time.  I managed a quick reading yesterday, which was also No Rune, so I imagine that's pretty much what we're all doing.  One step, one breath.

and look!  We make it.  Yay!

View today's choices as would a general on a battlefield, with an eye for the best over-all picture.  Sure, the clan has opinions, but the best choice is your choice & discussion could fog the issue.

This situation may lead to more inspiration or communication.

I hope you have a great day!

A day to practice our truths, with no special emphasis. 








 But, if you need something to ponder, try this.  What symbols do you want to represent you?  Around which flags do you wish to gather?


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

Yesterday was actually a day of review.  I had a good talk with a friend, to help reestablish some of my thought processes, good food, and some productivity in the writing department.  So.  A good day.

I don't know if I gave much thought to the symbolism thing per se.  I did have a day dream or two about travelling to writers' conferences on a leer jet with a patron/ teacher/ publisher person.  Would the leer jet be the symbol?  Actually, it might, as it signifies the wealth, the freedom and the travel.

Hmm.  I want to be a member of the jet set?
