The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 12/11/2005 8:37:40 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Home is behind, the world ahead

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!

Evening Rose - bummer on the letter although it appears the door hasn't been closed; unless things have changed since we lived in that state, the legislature being in session generally meant chaos.

Evening OT - that is a beautiful picture, unfortunately our hawks only seem to pick off our resident mourning doves. The bushy tailed varmints, haven't seen any evidence of them being targets around here.

It made Rachel Corrie think taking on a bulldozer was a good idea :~D

Yeah, I've heard a lot of strange things about Evergreen State College; Rachel Corrie being only one of them.

Which Catholic college is nearby?

Saint Martin's University

Well respected small school. Pretty spendy.

Looks like a pretty nice little place. Not too many current openings...but that sort of thing changes day to day.

I spose so. They're not a big college, very cute little campus.

John's brother, the priest, always liked the Benedictines. Thinks they are good scholars. The minor Seminary he attended was run by the Benedictines, though he was ordained as a Diocesan priest.
