Runlar: Week of Monday, September 14

Onn is the ash, and the kennings give it as the helper of horses and the provision of warriors: the spear-shaft, the wheel, the thing that carries you and can also wound. This week the ash is under you. Something is moving you along faster than you would have chosen and the ride is not entirely comfortable. Do not get off. The tree that carries you is the same wood as the spear, and the week's skill is riding what could cut you without being cut. Hold on, watch the road, and let the wheel do its work.
