we slip
sphere to sphere
time after time
touch to touch
while the wheel
keeps turning
i no longer can even
guess at the why...
A poem prompted by a randomly selected Elder Futhark rune.
Today’s rune is mannaz, a rune that translates to “man” in the sense of “humankind”. The rune is associated with family and the social order, and in trusting the intuitive process or seeing clearly — both from within and from without. Mannaz influences relationships of all kinds, including those of a romantic nature, and encourages compassion, for oneself as well as for others.
Please visit my Elder Futhark pages at sceadugenga.com for additional interpretations of the runes based on multiple references and personal reflection.

Love the ending!
Thank Bob. I am frequently in a state of befuddlement over some things.
Could be that’s a good befuddlement to be in?
It might be, still waiting to see if it is a net positive or negative. It might balance on the whole all around.
Me either. The why question is ever present
I wonder if it is a null question to ask most days. Or if is best answer without the “Because” that usually prefaces the response:
Q: “Why?”
A: “Yes.”
The why simply hums in the background of all things

Love that ending!!!
Thank you Jennifer 😊
It’s my pleasure. I hope you’re well.
I am. And how are you faring this week?
Challenging week so far, but hopefully tomorrow is better. Thank you for asking 💙
I imagine… Here’s to a better tomorrow. 🤗
There is no ‘why’ – we just keep going round and round and round…
That’s a very strong possibility.
