The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

Just said to an officmate (re the news) that this has been a heck of a week. He said, "what do you mean?" - failing to see the how the loss of either "means" much. We live in a very dark world.

It's like with Arafat. Only we're not rooting for his death.

I really thought they'd learn from the Arafat experience to be very careful.

It is amazing that these same traditions have been followed for centuries without much change. There are some that I had never heard about. I was reading a blog excerpt about the sequence of events when a Pope dies, and the mechanics of the conclave to elect a new one.

John Paul II has been Pope for so long, that there are LOTS of people who either have never seen this, or were too young when he was made Pope to remember it. It is a very profound event.

It is also somewhat cathartic, after the last two weeks of anguish with Terri Schiavo, that the Pope is approaching death with such peace and tranquility, and in our sadness we can be happy for him, as well.

Squalls out on the gulf stream
Big storm's comin' soon
I passed out in my hammock
And God I slept 'til way past noon
Stood up and tried to focus
I hoped I wouldn't have to look far
I knew I could use a Bloody Mary
So I stumbled next door to the bar...

It'll all be better when Hillary is President. She'll protect us from hurricanes.

Well, I'm back...

Not too painful. They actually said "here, this is a project that's in your job description."
