# Runes in the Quiet Light

## Echoes from Stone

Runes were born in harsh northern lands, carved by hand into wood or rock. Each symbol—a straight line, a sharp angle—held a sound, a story, a quiet power. They weren't flashy; they endured wind, rain, time. A single rune could whisper secrets across centuries, reminding us that true meaning needs no ornament. On a cold February morning in 2026, I trace one with my finger: *fehu*, wealth not in gold, but in what lasts.

## The Digital Carving

Rune.md feels like those ancient marks reborn. The .md ending nods to Markdown, that plain syntax we use to shape thoughts online. No bold colors or spinning graphics—just # for a heading, * for emphasis, - for a list. It's deliberate work, like etching letters into bark. In our screen-lit world, where words flood and fade, this simplicity stands firm.

- A short note becomes a guide.
- A list holds daily truths.
- A page persists, rune-like.

## Lasting with Intention

This inspires a gentle way of living: create with care, so your marks matter. Not everything needs to shout. A rune.md page, spare and true, teaches us to pause before typing, to choose words that root deep. In 2026's rush, it's a balm—reminding us meaning grows from patience, not haste.

*What we carve today echoes tomorrow.*
