i picked a rune stone for summer solstice, sowelu, wholeness, life force, the sun's energy.
what you are striving to become is what, by nature, you already are. become conscious of your essence and bring it into form. sowelu marks a time of regeneration down to the cellular level. you may see fit to withdraw, or even to retreat in the face of a pressing situation, especially if events or people are demanding that you expend your energy now.
know that such a retreat is a retreat in strength, a voyage inward for centering, for balance.
sowelu counsels opening yourself up, letting the light into a part of your life that has been secret, shut away. to accomplish this may call for a profound recognition, for admitting to yourself something that you have long denied. there is a caution here not to give yourself airs. even in a time of bountiful energy you are required to face and vanquish your refusal to let right action flow through you. nourish this capacity, for it is the mark of true humility.
practice the art of doing without doing: aim yourself truly and then maintain your aim without manipulative effort. meditate on christ's words: i can of mine own self do nothing. for by our own power we do nothing: even in loving, it is love that loves through us.
