Hi Jeff,

Many thanks for this! Yes, it does resonate... And I'm actually very glad you took a little while to write this up, as I don't think I would have coped so well with the result a few days ago (I had a sort of mental reset over the new year / new moon that's made me feel a lot calmer about the situation). That said, there's still tears as I write this.

So some thoughts on the reading - hopefully you'll find them useful...

Nauthiz "a lack, often keenly, or evenly cruelly felt" - yep, this is exactly how it feels, and has been for the last year or so. It has been oddly intense; I've had other periods of my life where I've been single and lonely but it's never had this quality of intensity before and I've often wondered what's behind it... I still don't know of course...

Inguz "the kind of strength or fertility found in a seed" - interesting. Immediately made me think of a quote that has been helping me in the last little while:
"For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, it's insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction" Cynthia Occelli.
It may not be strictly along the lines of what the Rune is portraying, but thought you might be interested that that's where my mind went first.

Isa - I did look at Princess Cutekitten's reading, and resonated with the "order" interpretation on a quite practical level. My biggest social barrier is a chaotic living space which gives me anxiety just thinking about having someone come to visit... obviously not a great situation for starting a relationship! So yep, work on that is in order...

Ehwaz (Murky), well I can't fault your interpretation there, disappointing as it is. I assume it is a simple not-going-to-happen message, but I will also keep your thought about the possibility of a warning in mind. I also wondered if it might be about the specific person I've been keen on for a long time now (I was wavering as to whether to get the divination about the complex situation with that person or go more general... still not sure I made the right call).

And your overall interpretation makes sense for me. I shall keep working on myself and my chaos and clutter (& cope with the intense feelings of lack)!

Thanks again, BJL
