May 22/Brachmond 1, 2012 ERE Tuesday/Ziustac

(Brachmond = Fallow month)(ERE = Eternal Roman Empire; rather than BC, AD,
BCE or CE)

Plans: deal with unemployment stuff

AM Prayer: Ziustac/Tuesday, we pray to Ziu, lighting a purple candle (for honor):
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, you
chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter out own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as
tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you.  WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Audie to Momma’s

Ya know, every once in a while my German blood just cries out for attention; which has been the case lately.  I am once again craving to know Plattdeutsch and today, I about sung the German National Anthem at the top of my lungs! 

Das Deutschlandlied!  http://youtu.be/cIff7EB7pvc

1. Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält.
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt,
|: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt! :|

Germany, Germany above everything,
Above everything in the world,
When, for protection and defense, it always
takes a brotherly stand together.
From the Meuse to the Memel,
From the Adige to the Belt,
|: Germany, Germany above everything,
Above everything in the world! :|

2. Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein Und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
|: Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang! :|

German women, German loyalty,
German wine and German song
Shall retain in the world
Their old beautiful chime
And inspire us to noble deeds
During all of our life.
|: German women, German loyalty,
German wine and German song! :|

3. Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
|: Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland! :|

Unity and justice and freedom
For the German fatherland!
For these let us all strive
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of fortune;
|: Flourish in this fortune's blessing,
Flourish, German fatherland! :|

GODS  I love this every bit as much as I love the American national anthem.

Toby for an abbreviated walk

Called my McDs friend; she’s such a hoot, always has been

Watered the up-side-down tomato plants and the baby trees

PM Prayer: Nirdu:
Nirdu, brother to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Fro and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to
our doors daily from the wonderful universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
