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!

Oh - we'll talk about it... and we'll start a rumor that is even more fascinating than the truth.

I'm back!

What a funny turn this thread has taken!

I want to die of old age...just want to drift away with my Jedis and all their numerous kids gathered around my bedside, gazing and smiling at Steve, waiting for me on the other side (assuming he goes first).

I remember walking into the room of a 93 year old woman gazing off in what appeared to be distance and smiling. I asked her "Why are you smiling?" and she said "I'm smiling at my mother." She peacefully died later that day.

That's how I want to die.

But we're not the sitcom - your family's the sitcom - we're the audience. And the audience always comes up with ridiculous reasons why you're not there.

How do you feel about being abducted by aliens?

Papa talked to his mom and Jesus the whole day before he died. Wasn't really talking to anyone else around him. Wife's brother was traveling and Papa kept saying "I can't come yet Mama, I have to wait until Johnny gets home."

Brother came home. Papa went home.

Those are the tragedies... everyone dies in those. I like the comedies better, everyone ends up married.

Didn't mind it too much the first time.

Killed in a freak windshield-wiper accident? Food poisoning after a lunch meeting? Being zotted by an angry mod?

Have I told this story? Probably.

The month before my Dad died, he and my mom took a trip down to Florida to see his sister, and to meet up with me on tour.

Before they left, my mom had a "vision" in church. She saw her mom and my dad's mom holding a white robe. She thought it meant she would die on the trip.

She went home and got all the finances and business paperwork in order. Two weeks after they got home, my Dad died.

I was "Peter Quince" in "Midsummer Night's Dream" in college.

Always wanted to play the lead in the Scottish play...

I don't recall you ever telling me that before! That's amazing...

Hey, btw...Steve did turn in a rough draft of his thesis. He still has some data to write up, and we're pretty sure it won't be complete by next month, but it's getting there!

I believe that it's common to have visions like that. My grandpa talked to his dad, and it was definately a two way conversation.

There were a couple of other things that happened when my Dad died. The week I had on tour led up to me finding things out (much to long a story for now).

The Pastor woke up that morning and felt the need to "pray for Mr. Stormhands."

And my aunt (his oldest sister) heard what she described as "heavenly music."

It probably really messes with theology to believe all of that, but I do. And I know it gave the family a great deal of comfort.

When (at homeschool co-op) we did Shakespeare, I always tried to read the roles of Katherine in "Taming of the Shrew" or Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing". If there wasn't a female part, I'd want a male role with good lines, like Mercutio in "Romeo and Juliet".

We read the Scottish play one semester. Lady M. was fun, too.
