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!

Pinged you to another thread you may find of interest...

Yeah I understand. When my dad died, I left the ministry team tour for a week and then went back to finish up the two remaining weeks.

I didn't fall apart until later during the fall quarter of my junior year. Interestingly enough that was also when I met the Mrs. But I remember going home for Christmas break with no intention of returning to school. I just sorta vegged out over break 'cause I just needed some rest.

Glad to hear the trip has been going well, sounds like a good meeting for setting up the office by the western seas.
