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.

Advise the mortal man today

Armanen Rune: Hagal: 
Havamal 152:
A seventh I learned, if the hall is burning
With fire around bench and comrades;
However bright it burns, I will banish the blaze,
As soon I sing the magic chant.
 
To actively protect/enclose/destroy, danger brought under control, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, die (pronounced ‘dee’ German for ‘the’) Alle Mutter, Frija, that which cares and maintains, protects, and preserves; that which is motherly; wisdom, harmony, salvation, blessing, protects from hail and fire, eternal change, caring and maintaining principle in the Universe, Higher Self, the perfect human being, Divine within, the Rune of humanity, married to the World, Rune of enclosure but contains a potential for growth, builder/architect of the worlds, the macrocosm of the world itself.
“Harbor the All in yourself, and you will control the All” (List, 54).

Toby and I out for a perfektly behaved, noon hour, 30min walk.
*cool, cloudy, north breeze.

Lasagna casserole from a box, mixed veggies added.

Mixed bag at work tonight:
Routers made sense.
Hand-forming had 3 orders in the freezer but didn’t make sense.
Two orders on the bag press; couldn’t find the hydro-block for one, and just didn’t feel like running the other even though it had 285min connected to it.

SNOW…blowing snow…turned to ice which made coming home a challenge.  20-25mph and some idiots driving like…well…idiots.  I saw at least three slide-offs.  Slow and steady wins the winter ice drive.

Last check on all fur-kids.
Toby was left outside, but he was in his doghouse.  He appeared none the worse for wear, but he was SO ready to go inside.
Socks was SO ready to stay in his house.

It’s amazing how comforting a bowl of hot cereal can be on such a cold, wintry night.

God/dess Meditation: Frija:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home, wife to Alle-Vater Wodan.  Teach us to be patient but not passive; wise but not haughty in our wisdom; far-seeing yet not blind to that which is before us. May we nurture life, increase life, and live our own lives more fully. Through you we give honor to our human mothers. Through you we see all the beauty that surrounds us as well. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!  HEIL ALLE MUTTER HEIL!
