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! |

As an aside, today is our 32nd anniversary, and OB just left for a two-day conference :(Happy anniversary to you folks, too! Today is a day of anniversaries of sorts...
Too bad about the separation, though. At least it's just a few days!

I really don't think so. Maybe my subconscious is but the rest of me is pretty happy where I am.
Overworked, though. Maybe my subconscious is trying to escape that.

Let's just say if there was a smoochmoot, I wouldn't be the one traveling.
No, part of it was going home because some of the dream involved being in church. And that I do miss!

Let's just say if there was a smoochmoot, I wouldn't be the one traveling. Never say never.... who does the traveling depends on a lot of things.... maybe you'll both travel to meet somewhere else.

Thank you muchly! Although we are kind of used to not being together for birthdays and anniversaries, there is a twinge of melancholy about the day. I need to get busy; have a number of different chores from which to choose.

Ugh, network went down for a while. Glad it's back up. Am trying to wrap my brain around my mother reading "Good Omens" - have you read that? Weird little Neil Gaiman/Terry Pratchett collaboration.
