Havamal 151.
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 enclose/destroy, introspection, awareness, eternal change, the Mother of all Runes, the cohesion of the world, the All-Mother, 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).
Interpretation: Emotions (Laguz) that lead to the All-Mother.
Outcome: GODS, I haven’t answered to the sound of a radio alarm clock in TWELVE days. This is tough.
Good AM work; mixed emotions about returning to work.
*someone snagged my fan while I was gone. So, with permission, I located another one.
Good @ work lunch; forgot a book, took a nap.
Good PM work; workload adequate.
Socks is acting fucking weird. He hasn’t been willing to go into his house for two days. He constantly seems on edge; more interested in being on the porch, presuming protecting his territory. I think he’s fed up with the excess of kitties. When it comes down to Socks or Stubby, the choice is clear. I picked up Stubby to take him across the street. He was NOT a happy kitty. I now have spray bottles to keep both Stubby and Long-tail at bay. JsFnChst I HATE HAVING TO BE LIKE THIS! I HATE BEING IN THIS SITUATION! I TRIED to be a nice guy when helping Stubby a month or two ago. That kindness has to come to an end for Socks’ sake.
*when Socks bolts in my house and makes his way to Essie’s food, yeah, he’s hungry; yet, unwilling to go into his own house, something’s askew.
I feel bad…really bad…I feel like shit…crying…
Done
