An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).

Outcome: When did Toby get outside? I called for him inside, nothing. I called for him in the back yard, nothing. When I went onto the porch, there he was! I think he scooted outside when I was getting Socks into his house, or looking for the porch cats. I could have scolded him, but I was just happy to see him safely here.

No sign of Stubby all day yesterday, no sign of him this morning. I suspect he's spending more time north of the intersection.
*No sign of Long-tail this morning, but HE was here yesterday.
*THERE'S Long-tail!

Good AM work; workload overflowing.
*Doughnuts AND pancakes? WOW!
Good @ work lunch, relaxed with the radio.
Good PM work; workload slightly > overflowing.
*MEGA amounts of work showed up specifically for the Lead's specialty. I have no problem with her overtime as long as HER workload demands it.

Family outside time; gave the new baby bushes a bit of a drink, not much, just a bit.
Essie in the back yard while I took Toby to Meeka Park and back. I know what we both can handle with these warmer temps. I was right.
Essie came a-running to the front gate in the back yard when I called her upon return.

Greetings to you, Mano, glorious male aspect of the moon; silver messenger on high. You’re the measurer and teller of time. As you fly silently on your way reflect into our souls the glory of the High Ones that we might aspire to the realms of the gods. Bathe our world in soft brightness, and whisper to our souls of joyous realms beyond our knowing. Mano let us see the goodness within us and without us, all the nights and days of our lives. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, MANO, as we honor the Mano that resides in us all!
