LOTR
I am going to watch FOTR with Mom tonight. Am excited. Dang, I love that tale. Why do I love it so much?
I suppose- because it speaks to me about me- all my deepest desires, all my fears, all my hopes and dreams. Somehow, within this epic tale is embodied the true spirit of man kind.
Like- loyalty. The whole story is full with it. The Fellowship. Sam. Gimli and Legolas. I could go on forever. Who here does not want a loyal friend, who is with us through everything?
Bravery. Don't all of us long to be brave, to fight some battle with a passion that seems so odd compared to these lives that we have made for oursleves, dull, and lifeless? We long to fight- to cry out with the power of it as we come crashing down on our enemies. Don't we long for passion? For love? For something to fight for?
The message that strikes us most, I beleive, is the light after the dakrness. It shows what we long for- because sometimes life is so bleak- and we hope, we cling to it, in the hope of a new dawn.
*sigh*
