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

Conversely:
Ulcer, a dimly burning torch, darkness, choosing to remain in the dark, a lack of Divine wisdom, lack of creativity, a self-imposed cocoon, the inability to shape the basics of life, pig ignorance, arrogance, inability to transform, uniformed, disease, decay, ambiguous thought processes, obscure thought processes, dark influences, cruel sexuality, uncontrollable human craft processes.

Havamal 156:
This I know as an eleventh, when
I accompany my dear friend into combat;
I sing it into the shield, so that he triumphs in battle
And that luck and happiness surrounds him always.
Triumph, surrounded with luck and happiness, victory, success, gain, well-being, victorious and happy, into the fray, blessing from above, successful fight, achieved goal, school, and salvation by light, inspiration, soul, and power of the sun, inspiration, soul, life force, wholeness, reliable success, healing, good luck, spiritual completion, and the path of the soul, Rune of the spiritual ray of inspiration, wisdom, and illumination.
“The creative spirit must conquer” (List, 57).

Rune Lesson: Both wisdom and victory come at a price. With wisdom we know our best example is Wodan giving up his eye at Mimr’s for enhanced knowledge, or sacrificing himself on the World Tree for knowledge of the Runes. Additionally, great battles have been fought to obtain victory. So whatever road we take, whatever fork in the road we come to, we know we must sacrifice for the knowledge on which way to go, then cherish the victory we have obtained on the other side.

Toby and I out for a late-mid-morning, well behaved, 3-block walk. Toby let me know he was done after 3 blocks. I tired to encourage him onto a 4th, but he said, “No dad, I really am done.”

Well SHIT! As I was getting ready to give Toby his afternoon eye-goop I noticed that he has been scratching around his anatomical left eyeball. I immediately jumped into high gear! The easiest thing to do was to call Blair Doon Veterinary for an eye pressure check which he has at 3pm. I then called K-State to let them know. They said to put him back under the cone, but I will let Blair Doon size him for that and trim his claws because I think that might be part of what’s caused this. I called work to let them know I probably won’t be in today due to Toby’s condition. I have been approved for a Union negotiated LWOP (Leave With-Out Pay). I don’t THINK I’ll have to drive Toby to K-State but I will if necessary.
*when I gave Toby his morning eye-drops there certainly was no sign of this so it has happened recently.
<>
Toby’s eye exam went well. He’s back in the cone for a few days.
Call into K-State
Call into Air Capital Vet…OMGs I realized what has happened! On Toby’s walk this morning, that I didn’t journal, he got into a few second dog skirmish!
Call back to K-State

Luckily, I have two Democrats who represent my area in Topeka. I emailed them both about getting rid of DST. Nothing will probably come of it, but the letter I got from the governor from my inquiry of DST, I had to do it.

Die Wurtâ, all three, are present at birth
To weave our Fate from merriment to dearth.
Urda, Werdanda and Sculd, the dark queens renowned;
Glorious ladies ‘neath the Tree, work your mysteries in us now.
That which “was” we can clearly see.
That which “is becoming” forms now in our deeds.
That which “is owed”, may be, but we cannot see.
We celebrate die Wurtâ, the Ladies Three, for all eternity.
