An eighth is mine, to all the Folk
Useful to know in their suffering;
Where hatred rises up between man and man,
This is can settle fast.
Separation, suffering settled, calm, necessity of fate, misery and death, change of luck as necessity, decision of the Wurtâ , Wurt/Urlag paid-for, cause-effect relations, capability to restructure Wurt/Urlag, That which cannot be averted, the Ur-law that is active in every creature, separation, stress, karmic debt, karmic need, but with outlook for change of karma, banishing ill fortune by means of accepting karma and karmic law, Skuld, Divine justice that balances, use your Fate; do not stem yourself against it.
Interpretation: Harvest (Jera) leading to a change of luck (Not).
Outcome: It’s past sunrise and the heat has already started building for the day. At .6 miles, that was good enough for the well-behaved slug-muffin; well, me too.
Yard…with PLENTY of breaks. Yard is finished back to the hindmost part behind the sheds.
*Even a grocery run!
*NEVER, EVER grocery shop hungry…Jeez!
Okay, now the temps are hovering around 100F. Time to wait to finish the hindmost part of the yard.
Inundated with birthday well-wishes on Fb.
Paid bills
Weeded the pepper area of the garden; BADLY needed
The thermometer on my porch says 101F/38C
Nothing interesting on the tele…Newspaper time
Previewed “50 Shades of Grey: the trilogy”…oh my!
Lite housework

Sporting KC hosts Chicago Fire 1-1
It’s early evening, still 98F. The sun has receded below the western tree line. The hindmost part of the yard; hence, the entire yard, is now done.
Watered the vegetable garden with the rainwater I’ve preserved.
