The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

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!

I suppose everything on my resume isn't local, so he's gotta know I'm new in town.

Fifteen minutes? Mmmm...I like the sound of that.

I need to locate and hang my interview clothes ASAP!

Add to that the fact that I was driving through hill country...lotsa curves and twists, even on the interstate.

I did a lot of prayin', let me tell you!

Can't blame ya one bit, chica. I'd be doing the same in that spot.

I prayed during every takeoff and landing on my last trip and those weren't nearly as scary as what you're describing.

So it is alleged.

I don't care for strawberries, and about the same for pop-christian music; but my cousin's as close as I'm going to have to a brother, his wife's a sweetheart, and my adoration of their kidlets is well-requited :)

So I'll put up with the berries and the singin' for their sakes.

You still have 15 minutes for handing coats to guests, wishing them well, and turning on the TV.

They live here. Well 'cept for my mom who is visiting. I'm about ready to go in an announce that it's time to surrender the television...or find another one.

I watch ~one~ television show a week, and I ain't intendin' to miss it...

'course my grandfather used to wind his alarm clock when it was time for folks to leave.
