In my efforts to discover a new title to read I found myself turning back to The Lord of the Rings for inspiration. I have not read the trilogy (although actually was one volume) in a few years and found myself being enmeshed in the loss of Gandalf and the journey of Frodo and the rest of the Fellowship. While I love all of the books, it is The Two Towers that captures my attention with gravity. I found myself sitting in the driveway, completely swept away as Treebeard planned to head to Isengard and Gandalf the White emerges a himself and not himself. It is a wonder, and I am reminded of how wonderful the world of fantasy can be.
“I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folks that keeps the darkness at bay. Small acts of love and kindness” ~ J. R. R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

Welcome
I wanted to create a place open for discussion, discovery, and introspection. I hope to share my writing ideas and projects, events, and research. Tolkien’s works have always be a staring point for the greater points in my life and when I need inspiration I find myself gravitating to his words.
