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.

Life is lived at such a price
Armanen Runes in your way

Armanen Rune: Thorn: 
Havamal 148:
A third I take, when danger threatens,

To bind the enemies through magic:
Thus, I dull the steel of the furious opponent.
Like the staff, his sword does not cut anymore.
 
Donar, deflecting an opponent, making ineffective, protection from danger, enemies bound through magic, impermeable, an awakening, the power to turn, the divine will to act, the law of eternal reincarnation, power to become, Return, new emergence from what's apparently old and dried-up, formative power of the seed, the thunderbolt, targeting goals, activity and the phallus, mental telepathy, projection of the will, fierce protection, psychic attack & defense, penetrating time & space, a constant renewal of life in rebirth, Rune of opposing polarities and of joining opposites, binding of and victory over the enemy.
“Preserve your ego” (List, 51).

Rune Lesson: Just like Uruz/Ur, Raido/Rit, Isa/Is, Sowulo/Sig, Teiwaz/Tyr, Berkana/Bar, Laguz/Laf, and Algiz/Man, Thurisaz/Thorn is another example of same Rune, different Rune systems; however, both are of a very protective nature.  So, it’s easy to leave it right there.  Today, is a very protective day.  Which, I might add, is very beneficial for Toby today.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.
<> 
Outcome: 7hrs of sleep, one wakeup, and wifey woke me at 7am.

Breakfast from frozen: two burritos and a Belgian waffle

8:30am on the road
It took a bit of an effort to FIND Mosier Hall @ K-State, but made it just ahead of Toby’s appointment.  Someone came out to the parking lot to get him and took him inside.
McDs for lunch
Went back to retrieve Toby.
Toby’s ophthalmologist, Dr. Ewald, brought Toby backout to me as I waited in the parking lot.  She seemed to think Toby was a good candidate for cataract surgery.  She did, however, let me know the follow-up is going to be where the work is.  There are going to be several follow-up visits @ K-State.  Whatever I need to do I’ll do.

God/dess Meditation: Friday, Frija’s Day, Frija:
Frija, Great Alle-Mutter, MY 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!
