Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

Anubis

https://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/anubis.html?fbclid=IwAR3_OzjODljVTi8278c4991vTWhfq8yI9Bz4fsgHs7w6b-Ch1lajxQH47i0

“Anubis was the guardian of all kinds of magical secrets. In the Papyrus Jumilhac, he appears as the leader of the armed followers of Horus. His ferocity is a match for the violence of Seth. In magical texts of a similar date, Anubis is named as 'Lord of the Bau’. Whole battalions of messenger demons are under his command. In the magical papyri dating to Roman times, Anubis acts as the main enforcer of curses. The gracious deities of the cult temples are scarcely recognizable in the pitiless gods and goddesses encountered in everyday magic. (…) A story in Papyrus Jumilhac (c. 300 BC) explains the custom by relating how Seth once turned himself into a panther after attacking the body of Osiris.  Anubis captured and branded the panther, creating the leopard's spots. The jackal god decreed that leopard skins should be worn by priests in memory of his victory over Seth.”

Women of Power


I saw the content below on Twitter this morning.

It struck me that her name is so similar to yours, and what I read reminded me of you. I know that you don't get into politics, but still I was reminded of you.

Here is what I read:

Letitia James is poised to make waves defending the state’s liberal legacy. From immigrant family separations to rollbacks on climate change policy, AG-elect James will be a force pushing back against President Donald Trump through legal challenges."

Letitia responded:

"You bet I will."
