Your question Where am I being generous for the wrong reason?

The spread

  1. What is rooted Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.
  2. What is rising Isa Stillness, ice and the pause that preserves. What to avoid: Waiting as an avoidance strategy.
  3. What must be cut Tiwaz Justice, honour and the willingness to lose fairly. What to avoid: Principles held at the cost of relationships.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the runes fall close together, which suggests the week's problems share one root.

The middle rune is Isa, a rune of gift and obligation, which is the hardest kind of arithmetic.

The final line is an instruction: do the smallest version of the thing today, badly if necessary.

What to do

Say the compliment out loud instead of thinking it.

Take with you
