The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home 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!

I'm trying to think of how "Beacon of Restraint" would work in that context, but my brain is in an after lunch slump.

I'm mostly just teasing. I've always liked that name.

Who know - we're not out of the woods yet in terms of getting her and even if we do, her name may change a dozen times before we finally settle on something completely different.

Maybe Leanne.....??? LOL!

"Beaker of Restraint" fits nicely in the keywords...

HEY!

If you're gonna want to come down here and take in this Lunasa concert, I'm gonna buy the tickets online tomorrow...

I got this in my email from my friend (Kilkenny Road whistle player).

Kim,

fyi, I'm working with some of the Celtic Music Series contacts to arrange some kind of meet-and-greet with Lunasa while they're here. Possibly before/after the Friday concert or maybe we could take them to lunch on Saturday. I'm hoping that if it works out we can announce this on the ok_whistles mailing list, as long as we don't get thousands of participants.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks,
John

I'm just sayin' is all...tickets are $22 and if you don't go with me, I'll likely go alone.

There's some fees...John said that it's about $5.00 worth of fees.

So we're looking at 27.50...as far as I know.

Ok?

I'll order them here in a sec, if you're series.
