Wolfling Thought

I keep being amazed that someone I've known all her life, and who has been so deeply influenced by me and those closest to me, still manages to be so much her own unique person, someone who can still surprise me.

There's a lovely mystery in her becoming.

The older she gets, the more I become aware that my job is knowing when and how to try to "raise" her (teaching, providing good examples, setting appropriate boundaries, applying discipline when necessary) and knowing when I need to just get out of the way and give her space for her own unfolding.

The Apotheosis of Technoviking

Some of you may remember this YouTube video I posted (courtesy of sannion) a few months ago. It starts out a bit slowly, showing some people at a street gathering, with a girl in the center dancing. Some jerk moves in and handles her roughly. . . and then an imposing, bare-chested blonde man with a long beard steps in to give the jerk a lesson in manners, then lead a kind of procession down the street.

Vato, creator of the webcomic Odin and Friends has also seen the video, and presents the newest god of the Norse pantheon. . . .
