"The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater."
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings)
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. ~e.e. cummings
MY BUCKET LIST
Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
Theodore Roethke
I live in a small village in the east Midlands of England with my two Staffies.I enjoy long walks across the fields, reading, needlepoint and chatting with my friends also a nice cup of tea by the fireplace or if you prefer we can have a nice glass of Shiraz. I believe in harmony, both in nature and within myself.
"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory.If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!"
— J.R.R. Tolkien

A forest of these trees is a spectacle too much for one man to see.
