Thoughts on Thursday

Jul 27, 2006

I did twenty pages yesterday afternoon and into the evening. I did ten today. It was sooo good to be back to work. But I just heard on the news that there are still people in St. Louis that are without power. Some of them for nine days now. I know they can’t read this, no power, but our hearts and thoughts go out to them. It was so awful without power, I can’t imagine for nine days. To all those crews that are working round the clock to put things right, thank you again.
Interestingly, today being Thursday, is Thor’s Day. Thor is the Norse god of lightning among other things. As we modern pagans look for deities for use in a new age world, I think those of us with storm and electrical trouble could do worse than look to Thor. What is electricity, really, other than lightning broken to bit and bridle?
