Today's selection is from an anonymous friend of SFTH.
In honor of the discussion below about living in medieval times, what would a hobbit have to say about modern civilization?
Remember your // for no-text posts for those of us who read in threaded mode and PM me with your ideas for a future SFTH.
And suddenly the Ainur saw afar off a light, as it were a cloud with a living heart of flame.

"It struck me last night that you might write a fearfully good romantic drama, with as much of the 'supernatural' as you cared to introduce. Have you ever thought of it?"

I'm hosting the Eruvande Christmas Spectacular-Extravaganza-O-Riffic, so I *may* be a little too busy with RL.
If you're interested, the first person to reply to this post can do it.
Thanks!

"Tolkien, like Lewis, believed that, through story, the real world would become a more magical place, full of meaning. We see its patterns and colors in a fresh way. The recovery of a true view of the world applies both to individual things, like hills and stones, and to the cosmic - the depths of space and time itself. For in sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, there is a "survey" of space and time. Reality is captured on a miniature scale. Through stories like The Lord of the Rings, a renewed view of things is given, illuminating the homely, the spiritial, the physical, and the moral dimensions of the world."

May the grace of Manwë 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 Manwë Súlimo

"an seileachan"
Some say once you're gone, you're gone forever, and some say you're gonna come back.
Some say you'll rest in the arms of the Savior, if sinful ways you lack.
Some say that they're coming back in a garden: bunch of carrots and little sweet peas.
I think I'll just let the mystery be.
