Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A new road or a secret gate...
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! |

These kids today... they don't know how good they got it. Truer words never spoken.
Such a shame to lose good people though. Even if their outlook on dealing with clients is unrealistic.

Prayers up for Andy.
And for funny Joshua, and Matthew,
and for all of us. Most of us are doing all right, it seems, but we still need to pray for others and be prayed for ourselves...for He alone knows what secret pains we keep from each other as we share our joys.
I got rear-ended driving one of the company trucks today. No damage to the truck, or to me...this time. Te Deum Laudamus.< /ramble >

Wait... you guys are freepmailing? Any chance this is, like, a prelude to backgammon or something?
All ears... ;-)

Just briefly continuing some of the discussion from yesterday's thread.
I've got to get to bed now! Got in a good amount of writing, though. Should go past 50k tomorrow...after that I'm hoping against hope that I can wrap it up in another 10k. If I write two thousand words a day, I could finish by the middle of next week and still have time for a very little brief editting.
Also hoping to get someone to do a few illustrations. Maybe my brother Stephen.

Oh, that's still promising, though... and you didn't really deny...
Good luck on the story! Remember, don't ask sibs for criticism.

Some of us don't know how to play backgammon.

I have lost *every* single game of backgammon I've ever played. Not much incentive to try it again.
wow... that works on a couple of levels, I just noticed.

OTOH I will accept all challenges to Monopoly, and will graciously lose at Scrabble.

Backgammon? Isn't that some kind of bizarre mating ritual?

I play chess. I'm not up for backgammon. At least not the online sort.

Yes, "backgammon" is what Hair and ecurbh played during their courtship, the online portion, that is. Therefore, the game of backgammon is associated with... hanky-panky, in the Hobbit Hole lexicon.
