Interpretation of the rune Gebo

The rune Gebo calls to leave enough space between each other “so that the winds of heaven” can dance between them. Freedom is the gift that everyone is allowed to give themselves and we are allowed to grant each other, as all other gifts have their origin in it. Since this rune looks the same both upright and upside down, there is no reverse interpretation.
