Comments:  last check on all fur-kids.  There’s something wrong with Toby.  He’s not his happy-go-lucky self.  Who knows what he kills and eats in the backyard.  I just hope he hasn’t killed and eaten something that could harm him.

God/dess Meditation: Saga, glorious goddess of history, we greatly honor you; part and parcel of our ever-expanding past.  As we share in Minnatranc, whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes and their glories.  Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from whence we come.  Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to pull.  For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our present, knowing that we will someday have to deal with our spiritual debt.  We honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
*C. Reimer/V. Elmersson
