The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Bottom line, in any case, is that I really think it's not right for people to say "I'm Catholic, but...". Either you are, in which case you go along with the teachings of the Church, or you aren't, in which case, why pretend? Why not just call yourself nondenominational or whatever?

And it bugged me that most people sat absolutely silent even when he was saying "the Church teaches this" (which it doesn't), "but I think..." Help me out here, guys!

That's another thing that bugs me: people who hate things about the Church that aren't even the Church.

Sorry...just venting. Not really looking for solutions. I just felt down already, and that didn't help matters any.

A lot of alliteration from anxious anchors placed in powerful posts!

Stupidity and blind luck work for me!

Guess I oughta go to bed early-ish. Got to be in better condition tomorrow. Or at least willing to act like it. Haven't seen my dad since Christmas and I doubt he'd appreciate me being all hormonal-y at him.

Eh well.... If you were too good, the others would be too intimidated to participate, and that'd be a shame.

That's exactly what I tell my jedis even now...if they're in a situation that they know they shouldnt' be in, CALL ME and I'll get them no matter what. Told them that they might have consequences, but there would be no doubt of my pride and love for them.

Me? I swear to you, I'd have rather gone to jail than call my folks.
