second... Naudhiz. constraint. patience.
Isa.
This rune carries the symbolic representation of the icicle. The Northern tribes understood well the dangers that ice and cold brought, and also the beauty.
You have reached a period of non-action or stagnation. There is little you can do to move things and even if you could it is unlikely it would be to your ultimate benefit.
Now is a time for meditation and contemplation. Get in touch with your spiritual side, you can still grow while your world lies dormant.
Naudhiz.
Need and want are not the same thing - this rune encourages us to remember that fact. Only when we are fighting for our very survival are we likely to understand the things we truly need.
Patience is a virtue. This is not a time to force things - settle back, live in harmony and go with the flow. Delays do not mean failure.
Isa. The Rune Poem - Verse XI
Though ice is cold and slippery
it glistens pure like glass,
it is like gemstones,
is not a field of frost a fair sight to behold?
Naudhiz. The Rune Poem - Verse X
Hardship falls heavy on the heart
yet it can be a blessing
if its lessons are learnt.

first question... what is the most important thing going on right now? The biggest most prominent, most important challenge?
second... what do I do about it?

those two questions are essentially the questions my parents have presented to us at a young age...asking us daily to reflect upon my passions and our goals. The challenge for me is when I feel as though I can't do the things i need to do fast enough...without the loss of more lives in burma, or more women and children experiencing sexual violence.
ReplyDeleteI love that you blog is exploring the idea of being an introspective individual...
well it's not just exploring the idea of being an introspective individual.... these ARE the ideas of someone who's been an introspective individual her whole life. this post was a result of some heavy conversations, heavy realizations, and attempts to overcome a personal trauma... and realizing that maybe, i can't/shouldn't expect to fix it all right this very second. and that i'm going to need to be patient with this one.
