I honor you this day, and I honor every bit of you that resides in me.  I’m grateful for the strong German heritage you’ve provided. I look forward with eager anticipation to the great family reunion on the other side.  I offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.

Life is lived at such a price

Problems with relating to the feminine, the maternal influence and the feminine mysteries, void of growth and caring, deceit, degradation, immaturity, deterioration, contamination, needlessly clinging, tough love Mothering, in need of Mothering, missing/ignoring a significant life passage.

Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way

Armanen Rune: Hagal: 
Havamal 152:
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning

With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.
 
To actively protect/enclose/destroy, danger brought under control, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, die (pronounced ‘dee’ German for ‘the’) Alle Mutter, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.
“Harbor the All in yourself, and you will control the All” (List, 54).

Rune Lesson: The growth and protection of the feminine rules!  Ya know, when I was a christian, I remember seeing a bumper sticker that read:  God is coming, and boy is she pissed!  How things have changed for me.  I fully EMBRACE the feminine.  This reading, with the feminine in charge, is exciting beyond belief.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.
<> 
Outcome: 7hrs of sleep, 2 wakeups and Lily loving.
<> 
The most face-to-face wifey visit I’ve had in a VERY long time.
<> 
2-eggs scrambled with cheese and hot sauce, hashbrown patty from frozen, three strips of turkey bacon, whole wheat toast with butter and sugar.

Call in from brother.

Personal time with Toby in the front yard, which carried over into the back yard, with extra hugs to celebrate National Hug Your Dog Day https://nationaltoday.com/national-hug-your-dog-day/?fbclid=IwAR3yK5MwAgmNSfPeFQqN15xocwYyRA2Cjwx0BgSslnFk2mman4yBTPT6fhQ
*thanks brother.

Once more I tried to file unemployment online with no success.  Even by phone was unsuccessful.
<> 
Online fuck off time as I created more collages for Frija, my goddess; well, that and other things.
<> 
Bräts, kraut, and brown spicy mustard for a late lunch.  Bräts are one of those things that I know my wifey will eat if I make them.  I messaged her I had one saved for her in the fridge.  LOL…not long after I messaged her, she SWOOP right in and snagged it!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
<> 
Out for a late afternoon, 30min walk.
*sunny, mild, stout south wind.
<> 
About a week prior to my virtual doctor’s visit, I’ve been experiencing pain around my naval.  Doctor suggested the possibility of a hernia and to monitor it closely.  Since then, I’ve been wearing lounge pants unless I go out.  Toby, I’ve been experimenting with suspenders.  Tings seems to be working.
<> 
2hrs of Ghost Whisperer.
<> 
2 all meat burritos + refried beans topped with cheese and salsa.
<> 
Ya know, for a married guy who cooks for himself because my wifey and I just don’t eat the same, I eat pretty damned well.
<> 
Note to Self; Toby’s 11:45pm feeding and insulin.
<> 
Last check on all fur-kids.

12::30am nighty night

God/dess Meditation: Friday, Frija’s Day, Frija:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far-seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!  HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
