The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

But you know, that's not gonna change. He is who he is and she oughta let him come into worship and enjoy himself!

It's funny, I can handle being with lots of folks, and can chat with just about anybody. SSQ doesn't know how I do it. He, on the other hand, is just as happy being with just the family; he doesn't care about meeting new people. Now, when we're with friends, folks we really like, he's just as gregarious as can be, but he chooses who he wants to be with, and enjoys their company.

The three older kids are mostly like SSQ, even to the point that the school principal asked me once if I was sure that David (#2 son) and Clare were my kids! I told her yeah, I watched them being born, so I know no one switched them, but that she'd better be careful what she asked for cause Joseph was coming to school the following hear. He is the most like me, and the one with whom I argue the most. ;o)

This whole socialization thing is funny. Folks want to force kids to 'be friends with' other kids, but what they don't get is that maybe that kid doesn't want to be friends with just anybody; he might want to have just one or two friends with whom he's comfortable, and who allow him to be the way he is, and enjoy the things he likes without a lot of hassle.

Yeah, she should let him go the Adult Church. He's likely bored stiff at the kiddie services.

Even had someone today say they wished they could clone me and they'd miss me terribly as I was the most approachable person in IT and they'd never been nervous about coming to me with stupid questions. Made me feel really good!

Will this person write a letter of recommendation for you? ;o)

NO more Brunhilda? That's ok, the new one is nice too. Especially with the drink with umbrella AND the beer!
Must be Friday night!

Need to clean up the supper dishes so I can make some popcorn and watch a movie: Invisible Invaders. It's the flip side to Journey to the Seventh Planet.
