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 offer you my undying love, honor, respect, and gratitude.
* no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Toby and I out for a 12:15 35min walk.  When we came to the spot that got him in so much trouble, we had a conversation.  Once across the street he once again started acting-up.  I called him over and we had another conversation.  This time he behaved.

Is THAT why Toby suddenly starts barking and heads to the front door?  News is saying we had another earthquake circa 9:20PM/21:20. That’s about the time he went nuts.  I never hear these things, save once.

God/dess Meditation: Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wotan and Frija.  Just as you restore Mittigart after Godotuom, restore us after we experience our own Godotuoms of life.  Let your goodness and your reconciliation smooth our paths on Earth. When our days here are over, light up death’s darkness with the promise of rebirth. Help is to avoid evil, and seek the good. Inspired by your example, we will keep our reputations spotless that our lives be proclaimed a victory of the Spirit, and our leaving his life a tragedy. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, PALTAR, as we honor the Paltar that resides in us all!
