Wednesday

Derived from the Old English Wōdnesdæg, Odin’s Day. A Norse god of complexity and contradiction, war and wisdom. In the Romance languages, mercoledì, miércoles, and mercredi, named for Mercury. A Roman god of trade and travel. These gods, it seems, aren’t on my side. Wednesdays have been a struggle for me. I could use a little wisdom, a lot more focus, maybe some guidance on Wednesday. German gives us the transcendentally simple Mittwoch, which translates to “mid-week”.
