Over to Vahalla. On the other side, over rock, river, sea and ridge, traversing the Rainbow Bridge, ye Godlike Ferrets. The assumption of room temperature down from 102 degrees Fahrenheit of your deceased ferret bears the implication that Theresa Brewer's song, Crossing Over the Bridge, may have some meaning on just how well one truly loves one's ferret Without love your pet may sink forever into the sea and not make it to Valhalla, on the other side. Not a problem with most of us. The sea, river or ridge is crossed by the rainbow bridge, a bridge of deathless life in the runic legends of the Norse and the thematic prose and music of German composer Richard Wagner's composition, Das Rheinegold (the Rhine river's gold). The Gods enter Valhalla as Wotan halts for a moment and from the orchestra there thunders forth in an impressive cadence, the motive of the Sword (Nothung), the sword through which the god hopes to win salvation. Then, while the gods continue across the bridge to Valhalla, the theme of the Rainbow is heard, majestic and glowing in iridescent beauty. This thematic music is unforgettable once having experienced hearing it. Perhaps Wagner at his finest. Froh says to Wotan, The bridge home will bring you, Light but hardy of hold. So tread undaunted Its terrorless height! Oh, yeah, and bring your ferret too. The music of the Rainbow Bridge is enrapturing. Nota bene. Brave warriors dead and dying, are carried by Valkyries across the Rainbow Bridge to their reward of total healing and eternal life as gods in the clouded mists of the towering castle Valhalla, where great feasting, joy and happiness reside. Kinda like a retirement home for heroic veterans, it is, assumably with their ferrets in tow Edward Lipinski FNW Foundation. [Posted in FML 6069]
