The Norns in Norse mythology (or Moirai - in Greek mythology) are
female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men. They roughly
correspond to other controllers of humans’ destiny.
Their names
are Urd, Verdandi and Skuld. They dwell within the Well of Urd beneath
Yggdrasil, the great ash tree that stands at the center of the universe
and holds the Nine Worlds in its branches and roots. They shape destiny
by carving runes into the trunk of the tree, or, in some sagas and poems, by weaving destiny like a web or tapestry.

We might not see ourselves as heroes, or fighters, or rebels. But I believe we are more then that. We are worth more then any rank or title this world may lay upon us. We all have the power to love and have humility. Once we realize that, I know we will find something beautiful. We will find something greater then ourselves.
“Life doesn’t always introduce
you to the people you want to meet. Sometimes life puts you
in touch with the people you need to meet – to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become.”
