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 sometimes wonder, if it's easier to grieve a long illness or a sudden death... both are hard.My father stood up one day and fell down dead. My mother went wacky in 1995 and her body died in 1998.
I don't know which way was easier ... when my father died, I was angry --- blindingly, bitterly, viciously angry --- for weeks afterward; that's how I grieve, apparently. When my mother died, everyone remarked on my composure ... when all I could think was that she'd truly left this existence years before.
People being what we are, I guess it's not how you leave, it's the fact that you did leave that's so hard.

I can understand both of those. I think there's always anger when it just doesn't seem fair. My mom had a long period of knowing she was going to die. That changed the rest of her life, and changed the way people related to her... and in many ways, for the better. She didn't let herself be sick or feel sorry for herself, and lived life to the fullest. But for a more fearful person, like my grandpa, it made him depressed to know he was going to slowly dwindle. He spent his last months afraid and depressed.
My step-dad Frank, on the other hand, surprised everyone by having an anneurism. No warning at all. Easy for him, surprising for us. It's something we talked about when mom was sick right at the end, that we'd like to go quick and without warning... maybe be hit by a truck... Something immediate so we would never lay there dying, never to wake, while people sat around and stared at us. Maybe that sounds strange, but Frank and I spent an eternal 24 hours with my mom at the end - where she was starkly different than she was in life... unconscious, lungs filling with fluid, seizures - and it was a hard time to know what to do with.
So when Frank died so suddenly, I thought good for him... he died on the way to the kitchen.

It's what Lincoln said: "For us, the living."
The dead have moved on, have made that leap, or stroll, to the Rainbow Bridge to collect their loved ones, and then, perhaps, over the Bridge to the next Big Thing.
It's us, the living, still here, with only a vague notion of that Big Thing, who grieve and struggle with the hard parts of this life.
And, yeah, once the funeral was over and I lost the almost insurmountable urge to vigorously and repeatedly apply a two-by-four upside assorted crania, I realized I was angry at my daddy for dying before I could say what needed saying. (I was also angry at all those other people, but that's another story.)

I thought about trapping it and watching it slowly starve to death...

How beatiful! And so full! My garden has great big empty spots.
But it's got to the point that planting anything that isn't planted in a hardware cloth container is just feeding the gophers...

I guess it's time to get serious and start test-driving this baby. I'll prolly ask someone to give me a payroll tomorrow to make sure everything works as it should.
