a question of need
fades the scene and i
wade bonefields at night
seeking sequels
in the beyond
A rune poem, based on an Elder Futhark rune selected at random.
Today’s rune is nauthiz, which has a core meaning of “need”. Alternative translations have been “hardship” or “constraint”. Among other interpretations, nauthiz is seen as a indicative of a transition or transformation, a period of learning or strengthening of resilience, lacking, change, and impermanence — inclusive of other related concepts.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

Sometimes the need is itself merely a prequel to the real need. There’s a lot of bones to be stepped onto over.
I am often wondering what drives the sense of “need”. Most often, it seems, want is framed as need.
Often confused. Isn’t materialism fuelled by corporations pushing ‘wants’ as ‘needs’?
Usually. It seems so anyway.
Amazing! Those last two lines…love it
Thanks Bob 🙂
