The Hobbit Hole XXVI - Home is behind, the world ahead

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Home is behind, the world ahead
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! |

It appears that the information on the miners was tragically wrong. Flabbergastingly so. One survivor only.
Totally surreal, that it could be reported so completely wrong.

I saw.
When I was watching the news at midnight my time, the reporters were complaining, albeit very quietly, that no one from the company had come out to make an announcement. Apparently, the company had been very careful about keeping to scheduled updates ... until the announcement that the miners were alive.
Too much roller-coaster. Those poor families!

Goood morning! We have no heat once again. But thus far my year remains unspoiled by irksome-types. :)
My heart breaks for those poor families. Prayers for comfort in these dark times.
