The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
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! |

"Brief" is equally risky.

Wow...Aly is really growing up! It's been awhile since I'd seen a photo of her.
Makes me realize just how long the Hobbit Holers have been hangin' out.
It's a beautiful thing! *snif*

Yep, I was just thinkin' about how long I've been gripin' about Nana livin' with us. She didn't move in with us until a year after Papa died.
And y'all were some of the first ones I told when I got the call.

We sure have, chica. It's amazing to think we've been chatting for 3+ years.
In some ways, it feels like we've known each other longer. In other ways, it seems like yesterday.
I'm grateful for and proud of my Hobbit Hole friends.

You're so nice for saying so, Hair.
But I'm just an incubator, it appears. Neither one of them looks like me.
~sigh~ I'm waiting for the day a cop asks me if they're mine when I'm hauling them whining from a store.
But they haven't asked to avenge any body parts yet! LOL!

Oh they absolutely do look like you!

I'm not sure. It's a different view though. And daytime is fuzzier. We'll still try.

I am feeling a bit misty and nostalgic tonight. Dunno why.

Why thank you! I cooked them up in just nine short months.
Bratty little things, but they're adorable in small doses. ;-)

But that was also about when the backgammon began, as I recall.

Someone once told me that my kids will be 7 times worse than I was. So the above is my story and I'm stickin' to it!
