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.

Born of fire, born of ice
Life is lived at such a price
Elder Runes in your way
Advise the mortal man today

Elder Rune: Eihwaz: Irminsul, the Cosmic pillar, inner strength, stress and difficulties, overcoming obstacles, need to have backbone to get through, endurance, “Shit happens, get over it! “, temporary cosmic consciousness, stability over external circumstances, resilience, the Shamanic link of experiences within the All.  “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” (Friedrich Nietzsche).

A ninth one I sing, when dangers at sea forces me

To protect my ship from the stormy waves;
The storm I calm down, no matter how billowing the sea,
And I cradle the waves to sleep.

Periodically, I get a call from a long-time acquaintance.  Today’s phone call was a bit odd.  He has a stepson, whom he calls his son, who is interested in acting as a profession.  My acquaintance naively thought I had some kind of acting experience because of my loose affiliation with the local Ren Fest.  His assumption was that I had to get into character at the Ren Fest.  Such could not be further.  All I have to do is look damned good in a tunic.  I digress.  His son is 17, a senior @ a local HS and is already a father.  After school, he works fast food Mon-Thurs, and on the weekend spends time with his child.  He has never taken any kind of drama classes, has never been in a drama club, has never taken any kind of music classes, nor has he been involved in any way in theater production.  Because of his schedule, he has no time for after school activities and no way to get any kind of acting experience.  I told my acquaintance there is just no way for his son to fulfil this interest, and encouraged him to be honest with his son.  His son really waited too long to figure out this was what he wanted.

I think the orange florescent lights on the porch will greatly add to effect for Halloween.

Not a horrible night at work.  No major catastrophes.

OH YEAH!  The orange lighting on the porch adds a lot to the Halloween display.

Last check on all fur-kids.

God/dess Meditation: 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!
