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.

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

Elder Rune: Eihwaz: Irminsul, the Cosmic pillar, inner strength, stress and difficulties, overcoming obstacles, need to have backbone to get through, endurance, “Shit happens, get over it! “, temporary cosmic consciousness, stability over external circumstances, resilience, the Shamanic link of experiences within the All.  “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” (Friedrich Nietzsche).

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: Bar: 
Havamal 158:
A thirteenth I mention, when I sprinkle the son,

The young one, with holy water,
If once he faces the foe, then he cannot fall,
No sword can wound him so he collapses in the dust.
 
Blessing, shielding, inspiration, encouragement, security, impending accidents that effect fate, life, birth: birth of the future life that is preordained for us, becoming, being projected, help in birth, son, bread, song, fountain, mountains, meaning of life on this planet/in this world, the power of becoming, reconstruction, Rune of continuous transformation, death and rebirth metamorphosis, return to the Mothers; the fountain as female symbol, the eternal spring of humans.
“Thy life strands in the hand of God, trust it in you” (List, 60).

Rune Lesson: Friedrich Nietzsche said, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger. “ https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/friedrich_nietzsche_101616
There is a tremendous message alone in that.  Then to add a blessing to that is an AMAZING thought.  Our inner strength is our blessing.  No matter what difficulties we face, coming out on the other side, we are stronger and are blessed for it.

Toby and I out for a 2-block, late morning, trust/training walk.  I REALLY think Toby understands now.  I’m his seeing eye human and will guide him to keep him away from harm.  He’s doing very well about staying on the sidewalks.  I let him veer off once in a while, but he’s good about coming back to the sidewalk when called.
Off on my own noon hour, 30min walk.
*mostly cloudy, mildly cool, stout NNW winds.

Note to Self: Toby’s 12:45 feeding and insulin.

Walmart Neighborhood Market; insulin for Toby.

On schedule, and I still got in some Fb time.

There is time enough left over for vacuuming.

Well hela, that was a mixed bag back to work.  I get to work and decided to send an email to the 1st shift manager in IPB2, letting him know I’m interested in filling the opening on the bag press since my former colleague was retiring.  Then, I started learning the control panel for the stretch press.  That was all fine well and good.  Talking with my union steward, and he tells me that Boeing is once again laying off.  Sure enough that’s true: https://abcnews4.com/news/local/boeing-cutting-jobs-output-of-787-dreamliner
By the end of shift, we got an email asking for volunteers to be laid off.  The company did this last time just prior to the larger layoff.  This could be the second round.
*on the way home, I still shed tears for Essie.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Wodanstag) Heimo, HEAR ME!  Gellanhorn’s god, son of nine mothers and whitest of all gods.  You’re the genetic link between the gods and humankind. From your home in Himilberg, your keen eyes and sharp ears guard Ensigart, the world of the gods. As you stand so alert for the approach of giants, remind us that we must also watch for our own encroaching evil. Let weakness, cowardice, lies and dishonor be barred from Ensiwëg, the Rainbow Bridge, leading to our heart’s abode. Be a model for vigilance, that we may rise to the best that is in us, and someday join the Noble Gods in their shining homes. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, HEIMO, as we honor the Heimo that resides in us all!
