### <center>A union that brings a message of freedom</center>

One of my friends is getting married this weekend and I'm the best man. This year, he lost one of his friends to the virus and also one of his dogs, while he also continues to grapple with the death of his father six years ago. It's not the greatest of situations to be in and the marriage itself has its own complexities, but I can scarcely get more involved than I am. My friend hasn't asked me for help and I've had my work to do about the whole thing. Yesterday, we had a rehearsal for the wedding at the church and I was quite dismissive about it, but my sister reminded me that I'd pledged myself to this procedure. I've been through these periods of despondency regarding this weeding since last year, when I accepted to be the best man because how could I refuse? I've seen where that's going, but I can do nothing more than play my role.

At one point during this year, I decided to just enjoy myself, and that's exactly what I did yesterday and what I most assuredly will do on Saturday, but still I go through a bit of inner fuzz also because of my own ideas regarding marriage. I value my independence greatly and it's hard for me to understand why a person would choose to bind themselves to someone else for life, but I've been processing this throughout the year and I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't put much energy or thought into that. I make my choices and others make theirs. Learning to respect that hasn't been easy or pleasant, but it's sand blown by the wind now and I'm thankful for that, because I know my relationship with my friend has changed and must continue to change, now that his life is taking a definitive turn toward a different world that I don't know nor desire to know anything about, to be totally honest.

I've given up many things to increase my freedom. I've renounced ideas, identities, activities, connections, I've resigned jobs and stopped hanging out with certain groups. All of the energy that I was investing on those things I redirected to my spirituality and self-knowledge. I've felt my power, authority and influence grow, my vision expands constantly and I've become very effective at handling my emotions, managing my reactions and using the tools and information that I've gathered with accuracy and determination. My Service is the highest priority for me; expanding my awareness and capacity is, in essence, all I truly care about. People, places, habits, even our skin and bones are transitory, attachment is an unnecessary hindrance. The greatest expression of Love is to let go and surrender.

Tomorrow, I have to pick up my rented suit and get a haircut. Although I frankly want to leave that wedding behind me, I'm actually looking forward to that ceremony and the reception later, I know it's going to be very enjoyable, but also, I feel that it's going to be an important rite of passage for me. I don't know what'll come next or how my friend will require my support later on, if at all, but I know that I have work to do and the less encumbered I am by the choices and desires of others, the better I do it. This business has only bolstered my resolve to continue detaching and flowing by myself, increasing my openness to experience new things without attempting to fix anything in place.

<center>**Rune of the Day: Wunjo inverted**</center>

Do not rummage into the shadow so much, turn your sight to the Light, sustain what you love, not what you reject; you attract that on which you focus. You have reached goals that you do not recognize or celebrate, work on your mood, on your sense of achievement and your definition of success. Elections that you see as a win may reveal themselves harmful, and others that you considered stumbles may show themselves right; remember, however, that all of them bring you necessary teachings. Melismata in summits and temples, chants that underscore solemnity, great ceremonies that conceal profound sorrows. Your purpose does not depend on external agents, only your discipline, concentration and attitude, do not attribute to others the power to transform your life. That which brings you down also strengthens you, as long as you want to learn.

Muchísimas gracias, Ney, jajajajajaja. Yo también me siento así, aunque en la boda dije que me sentía como el Acuario más Escorpio ever!

De verdad? Yo siento que los Escorpio son los primeros en casarse por ser tan posesivos y tan agua. 😅
