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! |

Laziness is a great motivator. The two forces from which all technology has sprung are Laziness and a burning desire to kill your neighbor (and take his stuff so you can be lazy again).

Hmm... nah, I will just threaten them with a tower. That should be pretty scary for a kid that has grown up in a secret underground lair. Plus it saves trying to add a tower on to a secret underground lair.

No, it probably isn't....
Are you shopping for a saddle? :~D
To: RMDupree
So... were the kids really *that* bad today that you gotta saddle 'em up and rent 'em out? :-)

Naw. I can't do that just yet.
I am taking Becky riding this weekend though!
I'm calling here tomorrow to be sure they have well-broke horses to spare.

hehehehe...
Close, but not quite.
But Becky straightened up right away when I told her that I wouldn't take her if she gave me any grief tonight.
It makes for excellent leverage!

Wow... I'll bet she really will love that. Have you done it before?

Like a lesson, or like a trail ride?
To: Ramius
I've been on a horse maybe 3 times in my life and all were guided trail rides.
Becky's ridden on guided ponies at least a dozen times and she has a real tender heart for animals. That means she will be cautious and treat the horse with respect and love, instead of seeing it as an amusement park ride.
I personally think she'd excel at it, so I'd like to encourage her to get involved with horses now and see if she takes to it.
If not, there's always gymnastics class. Or piano lessons. Or ballet...

I figure the trail ride first. Maybe have one of the people there lead a pony for her.
If she enjoys it, then lessons are a great investment.
If she doesn't, then I know that I can go take the lessons myself if I want to and she can try something else.
I'd love for her to take to it, so her and I could do something together one-on-one once or twice a month.

Is anyone here on the thread leading the life they thought they would at 21?I dunno, I never give the future much thought. I figure it's a waste of time... to quote the military maxim, "No battleplan ever survives contact with the enemy." So, I don't spend a lot of time making plans.
Heck, I didn't even go online until I was 24.

But this had me in tears at my desk.You may note, at the end of the video it indicates that that is #4 featuring that preacher. I've seen two of the others, just as hilarious!

I'm really excited about it.
I was going to go anyway, just for some alone time, but decided that Becky should go too.
She'll be 8 this September, so she's old enough to understand that you ~can~ hurt a horse. I won't have to be concerned about her pulling back too hard on the reins or kicking the horse to go faster when she isn't ready to ride full canter yet.
In other words, a mostly worry-free ride.
