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.

Havamal 163.
An eighteenth I learned, yet I would never
Let a woman or maid know it,
For everyone knows what’s best for himself-
This leads me to the conclusion of the songs-
The one it shall be then, that lies in my arms
As betrothed wife and as sister.
The scald, awakening, passion, sensuality, engagement, mystery, comprehension of the diving from below upward; from humanity outward, secrecy, gift/giver, gift of life, that which is best for the individual, fulfillment, sacred marriage, being ONE with the sister soul, protection against evil forces, being/seeing the Divine, the cosmic consciousness and the divine principle, two forces having a singular origin, the spiritual ego, death-life cycle, protection against evil forces, union of the gods and the World, the uninterrupted chain in the cycle of eternal returns, the Creator and the Created, the deepest mysteries of the Universe, the end.
“Man, be one with God” (List, 67).

Interpretation: Inner strength (Eihwaz) leads to an awakening (Gibor).

Toby and I out for a poorly behaved, late morning, 30min walk. Once again. Failure to respond to common voice commands put him on the retractable that cure any listening/hearing problems once I released him.
*conversation with a neighbor about dogs that mysteriously wondered into his fenced yard. One was still in it, one was in a neighborhood church’s parsonage fenced yard, and one took off. Evidently the preacher called animal control who took possession of the two dogs. He certainly was compassionate enough.

Not a horrible shift @ work. The first order of parts I worked didn’t even have an hour connected to it, yet it took me 4-4 ½ hours to work. Enough came in to keep me busy.

RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JsFnChst! At home, I took a tumble backward off my driveway and lost my housekeys. I used my spare car-keys to back up the Vue to position my headlights where the key might be, to no avail. I had to break into the front window to get inside for a flashlight. Once inside, grabbed the flashlight and found my keys.

Last check on all fur-kids; Toby it’s raining out and you want to go back outside? Really? Okay…

Frija, Great 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!
