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!

It probably really messes with theology to believe all of that, but I do.

I don't see why it would mess with Theology. Sounds believable to me! Many folks who have been with someone who is dying have said similar things, and have seen the peace that comes to that person. I have no trouble believing that someone we love, who had gone before, comes to lead us Home.

Just a carry over from something once said to me in the crusades. I didn't agree with them.

If you ever want to try a beer, I'd suggest a Belgian Wheat beer, or a domestic beer that's a wheat beer. They are lighter in color and in taste; not heavy like a dark ale. Sam Adams makes a 'Summer Ale' that has a hint of lemon in it; VEY refreshing on a hot day. They also have a new one that's good too, it's called 'Hefeweizen'. It's an unfiltered wheat, and it's yummy!

Hope they can get in early so it won't be so rushed with your having to get to school.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like grandad did, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

Oh, they should be here pretty early. Told 'em to call if they were going to be here before 8:30 so I'd have proper clothes on.

Speaking of dying...

I just ran into Marci.... She said that Sue died last July of an undiagnosed MS/Parkinsons/ALS kind of degenerative disease. I called dad and told him.

Wow. That's really a stunner.

How's Marci doing?

She's fine.... she's married to a guy who's playing in a rock band in bars on weekends, so I think she is still in the life of a teenager.

She said Brennah's in high school.

Well, Homer is home and is a little drunk and a lot lost. I can't bear to muscle him into a treatment tonight, he's too sad and tired. I hope he had enough to hold him over till tomorrow.

He's prolly soooo relieved to see that you brought him back. No telling how many times he's been dumped in his lifetime.

And he's wondering what he did to deserve the trip to the vet's today. He wants to be sure he doesn't do it again.

His ears must feel so much better though.

Actually I think they hurt. I think the ear 'deep cleaning' has left him a little raw.

Anyone who claims that dogs don't feel emotion must never have spent time with a dog.
