The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

I'd give you the stick but I'm weak and sick.

Which makes it even more despicable that you'd take advantage :~D

that's when I really started feeling the loss and really needed to visit with people who knew her.

That is certainly the case, for the first month, you're in the denial phase.

BTW, I decided I'm going to go up for the visitation on Sunday afteroon. I should be able to spend more time with him than at the funeral on Monday. But I'm also going to be prepared to stay in the event that he asks.

I'm sort of o.k., it looks like the surgery will be in later April, because the doctor is backed up nearly a month -- I finally saw him in Tampa last week. While an ankle fusion operation is still a possibility, an amputation of my foot, with a prosthetic replacement seems to be more likely. It has less side effects and a faster recovery time. If you know anyone who has had this sort of problem I'd appreciate some advice. Using Freepmail would keep the gory details off of the forum.

If that musical keeps running, maybe we could have a moot and see it. I wonder how much of the plot they could keep, in only 3 hours, and losing time with songs and dancing!
