The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

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!

"Theology on Tap"

They have some gatherings like that in the Worcester Diocese, but they are more young adult gatherings for both men and women. Sounds like a great place to meet possible mates!

...they call it "Theology on Tap".

There's a Christian businessmen and women's ministry here that has a session called "Spiritual Shots."

I feel so much better since I know what I'm going to do...

Here's an idea...

I could bake a batch...just a small batch, maybe a couple dozen, cookies and send them to the guy that wrote me...tell him that my understanding is that they may be deployed soon...and to not forget to let me know if they do, so I can send the whole group cookies now and then.

What do you think? I know it's better than crying...but sometimes, I just gotta cry. LOL

It's a good idea.

And don't cry. :)

"And don't cry. :)"

Well, I ain't makin' any promises!

I'm making a loaf of bread in my machine. Thought about your bread thread...this summer, I'm going to get back to the "art" of making bread...this is just so utilitarian.

My utilitarian pursuit this summer will be my garden. I somehow managed to get lettuce and radishes to sprout in 3 days. Don't know how that happened. :)

Sounds like a plan, 2J. It's always better to DO than to cry!

I'm behind in planting again, but I hope to make major progress this weekend.

You know, in and around driving to DC for a funeral.

Woohooo!! You're garden is off and running! Literally!

I love fresh lettuce...

I'd think it would be best to have read the Silmarillion first in order to understand the parody. We started reading it once, and quit so we could read the trilogy before the movies came out. We'll have to pick it up again, then read the parody.

What's nice about growing your own lettuce is that you can pick it when it's early and vey tender. We used to grow oak leaf and ruby lettuce when we lived in Jersey and had a square foot garden. Made a lovely salad!

I've never read Silmarillion all the way through, either... I agree, the parody is probably not the place to start ;~D

We may get some 'maters in, but the tiny seed crops, lettuce, carrots, radishes, are too subject to the chickens.

We gotta figure something out...asg.
