We’re back on line, back on the power grid. You just don’t realize how much electricity means to you, until it’s gone. You do the stupid stuff, like walking into a dark room and hitting a light switch, even though, you’re carrying a flashlight because you know the lights don’t work. I was on the cell phone to my good friend Sharon (Sharon Shinn) when the power came back on. She’d just gotten her’s earlier that day. The power came on, not with a lot of noise, but with a soft exhalation, a breath. That’s what I said out loud to Sharon, “Oh, the breath of the house.” I hadn’t realized until that moment that the house felt dead without the hum and pulse of it’s technology. Some people who are psychic, or sensitive to energy claim that computers and electricity interferes with their abilities. Maybe it does, but for Jon and I, we felt naked, and exposed without our tech. Yeah, I’m a technophobe, but not about electricity. Not about air conditioning. Not about, my computer. I MISSED my computer. Maybe this will help me get over my fear of tech. Maybe. But we’re back on line, it’s all working. Yea!
Today is Wednesday, Woden’s Day, Odin’s Day. So happy Woden’s Day. In case you don’t know he was the leader of the Norse pantheon. He sacrificed himself on the World Tree, so that he could return with the magic of runes, and writing, and he was also the giver of the mead of poetry. After he swiped it from a giant. A deity that gave the world writing, magic, and poetry, seems like a good deity for a writer, doesn’t it? Though, he is also a deity of the wild hunt, and though, he, himself, is not above trickery and deception for his own ends, he is the punisher of wrong doing, sometimes. Like most deity energy, he has many faces, and many duties. Gods like people are seldom one dimensional.
