abundance, there is always abundance of spirit, all of the time, everywhere. abundance of fruit to eat, abundance of seeds to germinate. there is always you. there is always dirt, magical always sky, always magical water. there is always a place to clean, a place of rest. happy hump day to you. try and cultivate the ecstatic minimum where life sustains.

you may be worried about your ability to create abundance in your life today. perhaps you are experiencing some sort of lack in your life, or you have obligations that you are not sure you have the resources to meet. the key for you today is to remember that abundance is something that we create or negate depending on our state of mind.

Odin “sacrificed himself to himself” by hanging on the world-tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights, receiving no form of nourishment from his companions. At the end of this ordeal, he perceived the runes, the magically-charged ancient Germanic alphabet that was held to contain many of the greatest secrets of existence. He is depicted as having subsequently boasted:

Then I was fertilized and grew wise;
From a word to a word I was led to a word,
From a work to a work I was led to a work.
