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! |

Yup, the idea is sound but the jargon...
Anyway I'm not sure a hedge is enough for those guys, you need full spherical protection.

Hi everyone! Hope you're doing OK this morning with a night's rest between you and that meeting.
FWIW, what's happened with you and C has also happened of late between me and S. Different reason, and probably more my fault than hers, but the fractures are just as lethal. I can't really talk about it online, my online words are what got me in trouble in the first place.
Caution, there's a danger in venting too much here, public diaries are just that.

I wasn't in the plane, my friend was! Hedges of protection are not good for airplanes! :~D

Nope. The fault's mine. Had to do with a wedding thread, and not even ~really~ anything said here in the HH.

Speaking of hedges of protection or whatever works best for planes...two of my siblings and a bunch of their friends are flying to Germany today for World Youth Day (I'm sooo envious it isn't even funny) - should be in the air in a few hours here. If any of you could spare 'em a few prayers for safe travel (now and during their stay and return), I'd appreciate it!

Flying up to Massachusetts on Friday afternoon/evening (I'm taking all day Friday off.) We're driving down to the Cape on Monday. We'll be there through Wednesday, I believe, and flying back on Friday.
Miss Cat is going to be upset with me again!
To: RosieCotton
Right. Amorphous invisible blob of airplane protection, coming right up.

The one that always really bugged me was praying for "God's will to be done." If you're gonna pray, ask for what ~you~ want.

Certainly Rosie.... what an exciting trip! I am sure there are no obstructing hedges that will bother them between here and there, and I'll pray for their safe and fun trip!

Heh... no, I get that but it's sort of, IMO, like praying "And can the sun please come up tomorrow?". It's more of an "Ok, I'd like this, but You know best so I'm gonna have faith here" prayer.

Yep. Hurting her wasn't my intent, and I've apologized, but I hurt her. I try to be tactful in my relationships, but I vented things about it that I never would have wanted her to see.
All this is just a caution, I know better than to vent about my husband or brother here (not that I have anything bad to say of course!) but perhaps we don't know who all may be watching.

How exciting for your sibs and friends to be going to Germany! Prayers up for them specially!! I know they're going to have a great time, especially since Pope Benedict will be 'coming home' to the gathering.
