The Hobbit Hole XXIX - Until the stars are all alight...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/20/2006 2:10:46 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Until the stars are all alight

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!

Are you picking a fight with someone who's promoting that diet?

I haven't read it, but I'm against anything that claims to be the "Godly" or "Biblical" or "Holy" way to diet. Or to wash clothes or buy cars or whatever. Since that means that the way everyone else does things must be inherently sinful.

Not at all..

And as for the point, I haven't read it, but I think it's more about living a more "natural" life, through a more natural diet, not about "sin".

Naw, it's not judgemental as far as sin goes. it only says other diets aren't necessarily as healthy. I am about half way through it thus far. What I am gleening from it is that vegetarians have only half way and atkin's dieters aso only have it half way. That since we were made to eat both, we should eat both. AND that we should not eat overly processed foods. Sounds like common sense to me.

The new information that I am getting from the book has to do with our (mostly American, but everyone in general) industrialized methods and whatnot. Vey interesting read, though not very entertaining.

I am getting to the spiritual wellness part. Haven't started that section yet, but it looks okay so far.

Well, the chicken experience is over.

Steve took them out of their misery just a while ago. I got to pet Benny one last time before he buried her and I could also see the extent of her injuries and know that we made the right decision.

Still, I keep thinking of her walking between my feet while I hung the laundry...she'd just coo! I can't stop crying.

Oh, 2J. I'm so sorry. I've never known anyone who made pets out of chickens before but you and your boys sure loved them and... that was just not right.

So sorry 2J. Hopefully your chickens too, can meet you at the rainbow bridge.

When you've had some time to recover from all this shock, are you going to go get a few more pet chicks to raise?

Have you had any contact with the owner of the dog?

So sorry to hear about your troubles with the dog; it's truly a shame when something like that happens.

It is a shame, and unless the dog has other issues, it's not ~necessarily~ even a bad dog, just an uncontrolled one. Every dog, bird dog and mutt alike, that I've ever owned would kill a chicken if they had a chance to. It's a natural thing for them to want to do, unless they are specifically trained not to, and even that doesn't always work. That's why dogs within range of neighbors have to be fenced.. their instincts can cause problems and grief for other people, as well as themselves.

I was thinking about spamming but it didn't seem very respectful...
