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.

Armanen Rune Summons:
Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way
Advise the Spirit man today

Armanen Rune: Man: 
Havamal 160:
A fourteenth I know, Volkrast, the dwarf,

Sings early at the gates of dawn,
To strengthen the Aesir, to empower the Alves,
But to myself, All-Father, to gain wisdom.
 
Strength, that which is rising, magical empowerment, acquisition of Divine wisdom, propagation of the human race, encompasses both the exoteric and the esoteric concepts of humanity, great gain, male mysteries/leadership, manly actions, pulling down the spiritual into material form, human/humanity, increase, masculinity, health, plenty, magic, spirit, truth, God-Man, male principle in Cosmos, birth, health, increase, maleness and man, Divine man, male principle in Cosmos, magic power, thaumaturgy, true self, the resurrected god, the upper part of the world tree, Irminsul, Rune of spiritual powers, of directing Manna powers; the sacred Rune of humankind encouraging us to be human.
“Be a man” (List, 61).

Rune Lesson: Joy, or even sadness can come from many sources.  Joy, or even sadness can bread strength.  Magical empowerment is the same way.  Look at that though, the whole idea of gaining Divine wisdom thru either joy or sadness.  Joy, sadness, strength, and magical empowerment all come from Wodan, from the All Father.  It’s the All Father who gave all, and lived wiser and more empowered.  At the Gates of Dawn, Wodan lives and thrives in us all!  He is my joy.  He is my sadness.  His examples of strength and courage give me purpose.  In him I exist.  To him I will return.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.

Outcome: 7 ½ hrs. of sleep, one wakeup, loving from Lily, Toby, Jasmine, and Socks, well, Socks as far as he could handle it with George around.
<> 
Wifey conversation.

Resized several photos within my Background album to make them more palatable.

A banana + a 3-egg omelet with sausage and cheese + multi grain toast with strawberry jelly.

WOW!  Fb chat with my German brother, to let me know he DID finally get the scarf.  Pics with the jersey, poster and scarf will soon follow.
<> 
Toby and I out for a 2-block trust training walk.  He did really well today.
*sunny, mild, slight breeze.
<> 
Took the recyclables from the inside collection to outside separation.
<> 
My charcoal-less incense burner arrived from Amazon (jeez, it took long enough).  It seems to work well.
<> 
Started a new sausage, potato, onion, and green pepper recipe.  Typically, I didn’t follow the recipe closely.  Let’s hope it comes out anyway.  One hour, I’ll see.
<> 
Message in to my VA doctor with a question about blood work.
<> 
The aforementioned casserole wasn’t horrible.  It was edible.  I actually ate quite a bit of it, but it will need tweaking if there’s a next time.
<> 
2-mile bike ride.  How the hela did I ever do Wichita, to Valley Center, to Maize, and back to Wichita?
<> 
WOW!  Some ominous skies out west.
THUNDER!
THUNDERSTORM!
OMGs, Socks is outside!  I went out onto the porch and called Socks.  Luckily, he came quickly.  I went thru the house back to Socks’ house and called him from his stoop.  Again, he came running.  Whew!  Now he’s safe and dry inside his house.
Lily and Jasmine are oblivious.  Toby is not leaving my side.
Thunderstorm blew right through.  All is quite now.

God/dess Meditation: Thursday, Donar’s Day, Donar:
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba with the Golden Hair, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!
