The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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!

That is a very astute realization and brave thing for you to have done. My first impression was "Wow!" It appears as a bittersweet decision for you. I, for one, am proud of you for standing up for yourself.

I have to be honest, I never got into bloggers, and therefore don't know anything about it.

(((Alkhin)))

I certainly hope you'll drop by the Hobbit Hole whenever you can! I know how hard it is to balance work, home, family and free time.

Come here whenever you need a pick-me-up or just mindless conversation or a mix of the two, OK?

Way to get rid of the extra baggage Alkhin!

I never quite understand the blogging thing... but I guess it is like the community here! I hope you don't miss it - you are always welcome here!

Very interesting, touching and inspiring article.

Is Rosie Cotton acquiring a gun or something?

Eeeek! I just got accepted to audition for Jeopardy next month in Seattle.

How un-hobbit-like of me. I better start studying.

I'm sending you and PE four of the NEW, IMPROVED, SERRATED Hobbit Hole knives, which just arrived today. Two to replace your own that you gave away, and two more for giving away.

If anybody else is interested in being a "realtime donor", let me know, and I'll send you a knife or two. All I ask is that when you give it away, try to get a name and APO so we can remember these troops in our further goodie donations, and prayers.

I would carry a spare in my briefcase, but I'm starting three solid months of midnights, so I won't be meeting too many people. But everybody else is welcome to "spread them around" if you're interested.
