I’m hungry. Why aren’t you feeding me? Daddy, I’m thirsty. Where’s my water?”
My heart doesn’t dare to respond by telling her she’s going to experience
something bad today. Bad, yes, in the short term, but good for both of us in
the long term. I want to protect her from all that would harm her but this one
is unavoidable.
AM Prayer: Frijastac/Friday, we pray to Frija, and Frouwa, lighting gold
candles (for Frija’s spinning threads of gold, Frouwa’s golden tears):
Frija
Great All-Mother; caregiver of Family, Hearth and Home. 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 HAIL, FRIJA, as we honor the Frija that resides in us all!
Frouwa
Most lovely of all goddesses; who could not love you? Women as their own
inner glory and highest attainment as the self-made woman, men for your beauty,
passion and strength. Praise to you for the gift of life, and for the love that
makes life worth living. Remind us always that it is the strong who love the
best and the most, and that only the mighty can truly be gentle. Fill our lives
with passion and lust that we may live our lives to the fullest. WE GIVE YOU
MOST A HEART-FELT HAIL, FROUWA, as we honor the Frouwa that resides in us
all!

A fifteenth I know, which Folk-stirrer sang,
the dwarf, at the gates of Dawn;
he sang strength to the gods, and skill to the elves,
and wisdom to Wodan who utters.
Interpretation: For this crisis (Thurisaz) depend the ever present male (Man).
Outcome: No walk for Toby today.

Essie into vet for procedure…tears galore
Stop off at QT http://www.quiktrip.com/ prior to class
CNC Operations class was a bit frustrating. Twenty students gathered around
one machine trying to see how he was doing things. ARGH! Eh, had to leave
early anyway. Before I left I talked to the instructor, admitting I was
hesitant about pushing buttons. He said that was good, but not to worry.
There’ll be time enough to get hands-on things working.
At the VA; shot went timely and well.
My WONDERFUL niece caught me at home and invited me out to lunch with her and
Daltyn. We always have such a good time together.
CATIA Lab…struggling
On the way home I stopped off at Air Capital Veterinary to check on Essie.
She did really well as was ready to come home! I was more than glad to take her
home. Once home I let her come out on her own and it certainly didn’t take long
for her to come sauntering out. She quickly got into the business of getting
herself cleaned-up.
Mid-evening nap lasted WAY too long…

Essie handled her crisis (Thurisaz) well. I was glad to be male principle
(Man) to aid her.
PM Prayer: Saga
You’re the goddess of history; part and parcel of our ever expanding past.
Whisper to our hearts of the stories about our gods, our ancestors, our heroes
and their glories. Be the resource for our memories should we ever forget from
whence we come. Gently remind us that we all have a rich history from which to
pull. For it is as we remember and respect the past can we deal with our
present, knowing that we will some day have to deal with our spiritual debt. We
honor you, Saga, as a repository for the basis of all that we are, all that we
are coming to be, and all that our offspring will inherit from us. WE GIVE YOU
A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, SAGA, as we honor the Saga that resides in us all.
