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.
* no doubt the ones who brought the family over from Europe.

Armanen Rune: Thorn:

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.

1st check on all fur-kids.  Socks was so funny.  In colder temps I make every effort to check on him and the temperature condition in his house.  Today, he seriously wanted to huggle.  When that was done, and I headed to his sliding glass door, typically, he followed.  He went onto his stoop and paused.  I told him, “Okay Socks, you have three choices; out the gate, across the breezeway, or back into your house”.  He thought about it for a bit, considered his options, then went back into his house.  See?  Socks is very good about making his own decisions.  Good Socks.

​God/dess Meditation: (alternate Sunnastag) Paltar, you're the blameless god, gloriously shining god, rising god, restoration god, husband to the faithful Nanda, beloved son of Wodan 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 us 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!
