I was as green a computer [In reply to] Can't Post
user as possible. I was like J Fred Muggs driving a bus for the 1st time crashing into everything. Actually i do not remember how i got here exactly but i starting on Barliman's and everyone was changing their name and i could not keep up with any conversation because of my sslloowww typing.

But i do remember what i said when i fell through the door in one of the boards. 'Hey, i'm one of you guys!'
Later i compared the experience to meeting 'the others' referring to Jean Auel's book 'Clan of the Cave Bear'. This is where an orphaned human girl was raised by the Neanderthal and then later found her way back to her own kind. Here i feel i am among my own kind..although i may have retained remnants of that earlier timeWink.

I know that this is now a very comfortable place to me. It is like my family life at home. I am just a home-body.
''What connects Nature to the spiritual, or requires the presence of the latter? In positive terms, as Alkis Kontos points out, when nature was still largely experienced as integral, alive and active, 'It was the spiritual dimension of the world, its enchanted, magical quality that rendered it infinite, not amenable to complete calculability; spirit could not be quanified; it permitted and invited mythologization.' And I would add, it still is and does.''
Patrick Curry-Defending Middle-Earth-Tolkien: Myth and Modernity - chapter: 'The Sea: Spirituality and Ethics.'

May the grace of Manwė let us soar with eagle's wings!

In the air, among the clouds in the sky
Here is where the birds of Manwe fly
Looking at the land, and the water that flows
The true beauty of earth shows
With the stars of Varda lighting my way
In all the realms this is where I stay
In the realm of Manwė Sślimo
