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!

Want to go, go, go?  Wait a moment.  Is it the desire for movement, or the readiness to take the next step which compels you?

*******************
This was actually a very humorous reading, because I had plans, before I did the reading, to go on-site for a client.  Nothing scheduled, but I didn't have a lot of hours logged in the previous week, and I had some filing I wanted to get done.  Even as I read these runes, even as I taped and typed, I thought, yes, but, I really need to go.  This reading doesn't apply to me.  This filing needs to be done!

I got all the way to the garage.  And I took a deep breath, and listened to myself, and myself said, "Don't go."

So I didn't.  I stomped back to the house, berating all the way.  Was I afraid to go to the office?  Did I not want to drive?  Was I being lazy?  Am I a freak?  (well, yes.  But my preferred term is fey.)

First, I really had to go to the bathroom.  So, I was grateful I hadn't been driving when that urge overwhelmed me.

But second, it turns out I wasn't necessarily afraid of something, I was avoiding it.  I was trying to use the busy work of filing to avoid the harder work of year's end processing.  I suppose I hoped if I didn't look at it, it would do itself.  Seriously, where are the accounting elves?  I have plenty of milk and, well, no cookies, but, um, popcorn!  I have popcorn!

So, I did buckle down and get the "right" work done.  (And I did reward myself with popcorn.)  But it's interesting how I was trying so hard to keep the landscape about something else.  Makes me wonder how many other things I've avoided by being virtuously productive?

Meanwhile, there have been other quick readings, but the one below is the one I did this morning.

Is the energy you're putting out there what you want to put out there?  Is your influence in line with your truths?


I hope you have a great day!

Today is a day of doing what needs to be done.  No cushioning, no safety net.  No coddling.

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

This past day, BerkanoR nudged me into productivity.

Yesterday, I planned to practice clothes shopping some more.  I scheduled a familiar store for the morning, and then lunch, and then a strip mall for the afternoon.  And yes, this is during the holiday season, but I thought I was safe because it wasn't a weekend.  And I was going to celebrate the practice with a gourmet cupcake.  

I did very well at the familiar store.  I tried things on.  I explored different brands and different sizes and I didn't try and talk  myself into sticking with a size 18 when it felt too tight.  Granted, my body shape will shape up (or would that be down?) but for now, I must accept myself as I am.  And, even more difficult, I didn't buy something just because it fit. If I don't like something, I'm not going to wear it, which will pile guilt on top of the remembered frustration of shopping.

So, when I left the store, I was not depressed or frustrated.  (Or not much anyway.)  I was much better off than a year ago.

But, it was hard to be so crowded.  And it's not just the people, but all the clothes crammed into such a small space.  I was grateful to be out of the store.

Next I went to lunch with my warrior friend.  And we had one of those conversations where, by the end, you just need to sit and stare at a blank wall to fully absorb all the truths.  Between that and the lateness of the hour and other personal events, I decided to save the strip mall for another day.  Which meant, no gourmet cupcake.

Previously, I would be so very put out by the change in plans.  i would either berate myself for avoiding the mall; or I would  make it a full out sloth day and watch television and buy something sweet to make up for the treat I missed.  

Happily, I remembered, first, that I still needed to do the daily rune reading.  So, I did a fast one.  And there was BerkanoR, telling me to get my act together and quit moping.  So instead of slothing, I did some bookkeeping.  And then some writing.  And, of course, some posting.  (I did stop to have dinner, cooked by my husband.  So, I did get a treat after all.)

And this morning, the productivity continued.  It was, in fact, a very productive day on, I think, all 4 of my branches.  (Reading, Riting, Rithmatic & Ruminating.) 

Amusingly, the reading today was again BerkanoR.  So, still moving right along.  Let's see how much more I can get done before the Full Moon.  And this does make me happy.  Productivity is still addictive.  And I love what I do.  So bring it on, Berkano!

I hope you have a great day.
