The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
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! |

After the other workers I saw today, it just seems like I'm doing so little. I can't talk to people. I can't comfort anyone. I don't know what to say to strangers. I just don't have that skill. My mother could - she was someone who was really able to just love anyone, and put them at ease. One of my brothers is the same way, and it's something that is just...well...a real God-given talent, IMO. It impresses me a LOT.

Yep, we may get some wet out of it. Probably not much in the way of winds this far inland, though tornadoes are always a possibility.

I know it, Bear.
Almost every time I wander out of the Hobbit Hole, I end up arguing with someone. I was called a "welfare queen" by another FReeper because I have my daughter in public school. As if THAT makes any sense.
*shakes head*
There are some good folks at FR, but I tend to believe that most of them live right here in the Hole.
The rest are complete a$$holes.

I hear ya. If it weren't for the Hobbit Hole, I'd have walked away after a couple of threads I saw yesterday.
Judgemental high-and-mighty creeps abound.
And I should really avoid threads about jobs and poverty and such right about now. According to many here, anyone who's out of work more than a day deserves whatever happens to them. And no one could possibly be that way without CHOOSING it.

I'm coming to the realization that my political views and those of the majority of posters on FR are no longer compatible.

I was shaking mad too, chica.
I struggle too hard every day to keep away from the trap of government assistance to have some jerk tell me that my efforts are ridiculous because I'm already on the government dole by having a child in public school or visiting a park, library, etc.
But then, I realized that he is probably bitter and alone and has little to no happiness in his life.
Made me feel better, as mean as that may sound.
He is the rudest FReeper I've ever come across.
And to think, the whole thing started because I posted to another FReeper that I thought his comment about making six figures not being enough to support children was just silly.
