रून्स: Week of Monday, August 31

Ruis is redness: what the body says before the person does. This week something shows before it is admitted, whether that is your own reaction or somebody else's. The kennings tie it to the flush of shame and of anger without separating them, which is accurate. Watch for the signal rather than the statement. The useful conversation this week is the one that begins with noticing the colour rise, in yourself first, and asking what it is doing there before it turns into a position that has to be defended.
