Runlar: Week of Monday, August 31

Þurs is a giant: a hostile power outside the settlement that does not negotiate and cannot be reasoned with. Something this week is simply not available for discussion, whether that is an institution, a deadline or a person who has decided. The rune is old and practical about this. You do not argue with weather and you do not go out to meet a giant on open ground. Secure what is yours, keep inside the boundary, and let the thing pass rather than testing whether it might turn out to be reasonable after all.
