The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Ok, so, you need to have your future self drop in with plans for a time machine. Then you'll have all the time you need.

You didn't have to, chica. You live and you learn.

Sigh... seems sometimes like all I do is learning. Whole lot of learning and not a lot of living.

Are you kidding?

You moved halfway across the country on your own! If that ain't living, what is?

Heh. True. I dunno... I just sometimes feel like this isn't me. I mean it's what I want to do, but sometimes I feel like it's not what I'm meant to be doing. If that makes any sense at all.

Um... when you can get up in the morning and concievably believe that today might be better, or at least not worse than, yesterday?

Oh sis, we all feel like that sometimes.

Just enjoy every day. That's what living truly is, IMHO.

Spamming for the 7k was the closest thing to "living" I've done today...

I figured it was, since that's the only one I haven't seen yet and the quote didn't seem familiar.

You should rent it if you get the chance! Lots of good fighting and meaningful deaths and such.

As to the diamonds, are they being offered you by an African gentleman who spells his name with all capital letters?

I'm sorry. I can't say. But I'll let you know as soon as I pick them up. I'll be sending for them just as soon as a payment from Nigeria clears my account.
