The general situation

Berkana
This rune represents the family and family matters, the harmony of the home, fertility and nurturing energy. It also means new beginnings, growth, healing and renewal. It can indicate a joyful occasion such as a birth or a wedding.




Obstacles

Mannaz
This rune represents the Self, the family and the community at large. It can also deal with co-operation within various relationships and depict human attributes such as understanding, motivation, intelligence, memory or even intuition. There is a need to know yourself and that which is possible for you.




Helpful influences

Jera
This rune represents the harvest, the cycle of the year, its natural motion of seasons bringing gradual change. However you must have sown the seeds within the self and planted and nurtured the ideas to enable you to bring these to a successful conclusion. As with all seasons one period of time ends and inevitably a new one begins, this is the natural order of things.




Immediate outcome

Languz
This rune represents water and thus emotion. Maybe symbolising the moods of the sea, its changeability, uncertainty, force, power and lack of control. However, it brings with it, feeling, love, affection intuition, fluidity, change and adjustment. It also implies fears and anxieties - things you find it difficult to say and reveals your intuitive side, even your psychic abilities.




Long-term results

Uruz
This rune represents inner strength and persistence. It indicates that perseverance and endurance will be needed to assist you at this time and it will be an aid to recovery after ill health. It also represents courage, power and physical and spiritual strength. Opportunities may be offered to you.


It's been that kind of day. But I needed the silliness, and it's served a purpose. This is more of the same, for the most part - reminding myself to hold on.

It's hard to see the future
When you're blinded by the now
They say it's easier
If you release the pain somehow

Gotta move on
Just move on.


Tomorrow's another chance for everything to go just the way I need it to. ;) So g'night, everyone. Sweet dreams.

When we discover at last
The secrets of our humanity,
Will we also discover
A way to transcend it?


Our fondest dream
And our deepest fear
Is to merge ourselves
Completely with another;
To be fully and wholly known,
With all of our secrets
Laid bare.


These shells of flesh
Which safeguard our consciousness
Also deny us its fulfillment;
Binds us to a loving lie
That says we are things set apart.
And yet, we struggle
To once again be one...
Struggle because we accept the lie
And never look past
To see that what was once
Has always been,
And, but for our acceptance,
We have never been alone.


This is the bane of the corporeal;
To be proscribed to sound,
To sight, to touch,
When mind-to-mind contact,
Heart-to-heart knowledge,
Is beyond our reach...
This is what it is,
To be born mortal, and human.



... most recent incarnation of a poem I wrote a little over ten years ago (college should so never be that distant a memory...) -- I'm in search of memories today. ;)

We are the instruments of creation;
What we dream, is.
What we imagine becomes
The fabric of our reality.
We create the gods in our own image,
Shape the winds to be our playthings--
And yet, lest we grow
Enslaved to our own might,
Hide the secret from ourselves,
Within the mirrored walls
Of our minds.
Our visions manifest
As our commonplaces;
Our nightmares
Become real tragedies:
The least of our children
With a fantasy
Can redeem us,
The mightiest may be brought low
By the terrors his mind fabricates.
Dream, then, of splendor,
Of majesty...
For our dreams
Are the hands of the gods.

Dream not of today;
Its charms, though many,
Are but mundane shadows
Of greater glories.

Dream not of yesterday.. its time is gone,
Its sweetness crushed
Like roses dying underfoot.

The passage of time
Slows not for fallen leaves..
The bells toll no more
For far-off victories
In dusty battles
Long since ended.

Dream only of tomorrow..
For only in tomorrow
Can you catch a star
And follow its blazing trail
Across a galaxy or a lifetime..
It takes dreams of tomorrow
To justify decisions
Made in the uncaring blind
Of today.

Only in tomorrow can you see
What you could be..
What you should be..
Only dreams of tomorrow
Can sustain you
Through the heartbreaks of now
And the memories
Of empty yesterdays.

Dream not of today..
It is only
Yesterday's dream of tomorrow,
Never come true.


... with that reminder to myself, I think it's time to stop. *laugh.*

*snicker.*
