my copy of LOTR (fellowship) is coming in the mail tomorrow and I couldn't be happier. I read The Hobbit back in january so let me know if the main “trilogy” lives up to it! it’s fun to buy things that mean something. it’s also fun to buy silly things. I can’t wait.

i‘ve had a late 20’s lotr awakening.
watched all of the movies last year for the first time and DAMN do they hold up. special effects still dazzle, good balance of humor, viggo mortensen looking the sexiest a human has ever looked on screen.
read the first book slowly over several months while reading other books alongside it. the songs can be a bit much but it mostly slapped. i was surprised by how much it moved me.
finally finished and sprang for the uncut version the next day. simply an excellent use of time!!!!! will never forgive them for omitting tom bombadil and goldberry tho.

I’m talking - environmental themes // da man Tom Bombadil // Ralph Bakshi // vintage paperback covers that look like a prog album sleeve // Ents ?!!
I find this inexplicably charming + also really have come to enjoy the extent to which Peter Jackson adapted this “vibe” more than he adapted the books with 100% fidelity

even if no one tells you that you do, isn't it nice to go around all day smelling a fragrance you love? silently spreading a faint aroma to the people around you. it’s like an invisible letter into your soul. ok maybe not as deep as that but I like to think it is.

this isn’t an exaggeration. get out in the sun. take your shoes off and dig your toes in the dirt. lay in the grass and whatever you do, do not think. gratitude. peace. solitude. let those three things ring in the emptiness of your mind. PRAY/ listen/ breathe. a lot of this is contradictory, but it’s real. all of these things are real.

maybe you don’t have a pair of binoculars like me. all you need is patience (bird feeder recommended)! it’s so invigorating and calming seeing my feathered-friends visit. name them too. I love birds.
