Your question What is the smallest honest step?

The spread

What is rooted Tiwaz Justice, honour and the willingness to lose fairly. What to avoid: Principles held at the cost of relationships.
What is rising Thurisaz A gate and a thorn. The obstacle that is also the way through. What to avoid: Reacting to provocation on reflex.
What must be cut Isa Stillness, ice and the pause that preserves. What to avoid: Waiting as an avoidance strategy.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the runes fall close together, which suggests the week's problems share one root.

At the centre, Thurisaz: a rune of the journey, and of the difference between leaving and escaping.

The final rune is a rune of waiting, which the old alphabet insists is also a kind of work.

Do the boring part first, while you are fresh.

Soon, but not today.

Slow is a strategy, not a failure.
