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.

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).
*A2R5; Aett 2, root 5, Yggdrasil’s root of destruction

Armanen Rune: Is:  
Havamal 154:
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.

“Win power over yourself and you will have power over everything in the spiritual and physical worlds that strive against you” (List, 56).
H2R3; Halbdutzend 2, root 3, Irminsul’s root of destruction
*from destruction to destruction.

Rune Lesson:  When we become centered within ourselves, we gather strength.  Sometimes with inner strength there is no need to change.  Our inner strength is just that; our inner strength is such a comfort.  We have nothing to dear.  Our life is calm.  We rest in the knowledge that we are strong with the force of will to accomplish anything.  The storm may rage, but we are stronger than the storm.  We rest.

1st check on all fur-kids: food, water, litterboxes, shelter.

Outcome: 7hrs of dark, foreboding, troubling sleep with an EXTREMELY slow wakeup and LOTS of Lily cuddles.  Lily was just content to suck it ALL up!  Maybe she was sucking up all my overnight anxieties.
*Dark, foreboding…OMGs, did Wodan visit me last night?

Toby’s morning eyedrops

Call into insurance agent making sure that everything is spot on…and it is.

Online fucking off because I know it’s going to be hot taking Toby out for a walk.

Toby’s late morning feeding, insulin and Apoquel.

Toby and I out for a noon hour, well behaved, 3-block roundy

Watered the straw-bale garden and backyard shrubbery.  I’m worried about my blueberry bushes.

God/dess Meditation: Friday/Frija’s Day/An: Frigga’s Day:
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!
