Raidho

The rune revealed
You have chosen Raidho
Or has it chosen you?

Raidho, the wheel, movement
Accept it
Because things are always changing

You are being called to places
You would rather not inhabit
You are being called to change
To movement

Inertia has overtaken me
You cry aloud
But Raidho says
Things are always in motion
It is hard work to remain inert
To resist life with as much force
As life exerts to draw you to it

You have embraced inertia
In a languid passionate grip
Wanting things to stay the same
Fearing

But my friend, sweet lad
Even under ice
Life is shifting, growing, moving
Nothing stays still for very long
If at all

And Raidho is calling you
The way the sound of carriage wheels on a gravel road
The crack of a slow whip
Bells around a horse's neck
Hooves, bucking legs
Signify motion
Shh, listen
Put your ear to the ground
Movement is about to begin
Why resist?
Embrace your life force

Raidho is calling you
Whispering
We are all spokes in the wheel of life
Spin the wheel

Life is turning
Life is changing
With or without you
But you add unnecessarily goad
When you refuse to move
We must move you
Against your will

As the wheel turns
The wheel of life
Raidho is calling you
Inviting you to move freely
Will you stretch out your hand?
