The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^ ^

Posted on 05/05/2004 7:57:51 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A sudden tree or standing stone

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Thank you my FRiend!

I did have a very peaceful repose. That's something I've really noticed since being on this low carb diet. My sleep is DEEP! No more tossing and turning and I don't feel "keyed up" all the time.

My skin has cleared up.

My stomach doesn't bother me anymore. I thought I was one of those doomed to a life of "IBS" if you know what I mean. Bah! I feel better now than I have in years and that's enough reason for me to stay on the diet, even if I don't loose any weight!

Hey hey!! I was just thinking of you this morning!! Was it you that spent a few years in a rustic home on a creek or something?

I thought it was you when I was reading about the homeschooling homeless dad out in the woods...

Got a song you might be interested in singing...it's downright gorgeous. I cried every time I played it the first few times!

Called "Hallelujah, What a Savior", Tommy Coomes band sings it. It's awesome...makes you get goosebumps!

Man of Sorrows! what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed my pardon with his blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless Lamb of God was he;
full atonement can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lifted up was he to die;
"It is finished!" was his cry;
now in heaven exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

When he comes, our glorious King,
all his ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Some of the freepers were saying they thought the little girl would have problems (same old socialization crap), but I didn't think so. The report said she was well-spoken beyond her years and her living conditions were better than some I imagine in the inner cities...

I would opt for a lean-to in the woods over living in the projects any day...

You turned out all right! LOL

So are you starting in on Two Towers?

Hullo all. We had a tremendous thunderstorm early this morning. Knocked out power all over the place. But it's sunny now, and Friday.

I'm not working late. We're having a couple people over to dinner, and watching "Shrek" - my dad has somehow escaped seeing it and we're supposed to see Shrek 2 tomorrow...

Starting TTT in a few minutes. Gotta enter some checks in the pool financial records...BUT...

WOO HOO! I am making progress. I now have four boxes of historical files (that were dumped on my doorstep in January) that I'm taking to the pool to store tomorrow. Once I enter these checks, make the deposit and pay our current bills, all I have to do is print out a current financial statement, save the records to a disk and pass it off to our new treasurer.

I am indeed a happy dwarf.

Don't say things like that, the files could spontaneously combust or something.

Ruthy, if you wanna get on the boat I will gladly take a picture of you on the boat! And I bet Ramius will too. I'm sure he would love that.

But, if you get on that boat and they starts takin' 'bout stuff to scare you, I promise, you have my bow... and they'll hear how the cow eats the cabbage. hehehe

Yes she did! The creek was the bathtub and the potty was outside! They wasn't just rustic. They was downright roughin' it!
