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! |

Since this is the image I found when I googled "zen" I think we'll pass on that concept...

Good morning all :~D
I gather there was a semi-successful chat view last night.... We'd be up for another try - say Friday.

Here. Zen gardens are nice and relaxing. They're supposed to evoke restfulness and meditation.
To: Corin Stormhands
Now see, that's what I'd have pictured when I think of you and zen. Don't ask me why... nicely arranged rock garden, no. Tree through house, sure.

Ugh... having a Corin morning here. Our bathroom light burned out last night. So this morning I replaced the light bulb, and started to replace the cover when it just quit again. Tried another new bulb, and that ain't it, so now it seems like a wiring problem. :(
Weird though, that it worked at first after replacing the bulb. I need a drink.

Ours did *something* like that...found out that we were putting too big a bulb in there or something...60 watt was the limit and we were putting in a 100 watt. It caused the wiring to overheat and do something...seperate or something...the bulb would blow and then the wiring would cool and work again, then do the same thing 'cause we'd put another 100 watt light bulb in. Eventually it quit working all together and we had to replace the little electrical connection in there.
Got it at Lowes...not too expensive. Guy at Lowes told us what we were doing wrong. Must be pretty common.

Okay, since y'all are the shoppers extraordinaire, here's what I need.
I want to focus a single spotlight on the wreath on the door. Direct, bright light, just the size of the wreath. I'd like to mount it on the roof of the porch. But I don't need a flood light that would be too, hot, bright or cast too much light.
Discuss.

That opossum has been back every single night. Every evening, when I put the chickens away and latch the door, I smooth out the sand in front of the coop. Every morning, when I let them out, there are the opossum tracks, clear as day in the sand.

OB is deep in the Land of Ahhhs today and tomorrow--I enjoyed the "zen moment" you posted, though.
To: LSAggie
I could use some zen.
My dentist just called and I'm going to have some extensive oral surgeries coming up...it sounds both painful and pricey.
