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.

Rune Lesson: Uruz is the stabilizing force in creation.  Laf is determination.  This Rune lesson points to a stabilizing effect and the determination behind it.  It’s also about our life force that sings before the All, the Irminsul.  We sing before the All as the creative forces take shape in our lives.  Our lives are lived in gratitude for what has been given us.  Now WE have to do all within our power to protect it.

Okay, I’m not sure what’s going on.  Do Socks and Jasmine have a love interest but not Socks and Lily?  It really did seem that Socks and Jasmine we flirting between the front window and the door.  It also seemed that Socks and Lily we confronting each other.  It’s a curious thing that needs a closer eye.

God/dess Meditation: (alternate Frijastag) Heil to you, Forsizo, son of Paltar and Nanda!  You’re the god of justice, and reconciliation.  You sit in judgment of the right and wrong of all arguments.  We see you as god of the Thing.  We call out to you in our time of legal need.  We know that justice is a double-edged ax.  On the one side, if our argument is just, grant us the proper conclusion.  On the other side, if our argument is fraudulent, mete-out justice accordingly.  Whether in the court of legal proceedings or the court of public opinion, grant us the justice according to the rightness of our deeds.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FORSIZO, as we honor the Forsizo that resides in us all!
