Now, maybe someone here can explain this to me. I have always been under the impression that the separation of Church and State was more to protect the churches from state interference (England having an established church, which your founding fathers didn't want) than to protect the state from chur...

Vison, that is an interesting response to Strange and Norrel; I found it un-put-downable and absolutely gobbled it up! (Felt like a kid again; after my beloved grumbled that it was 2 in the morning already and could I please put out the light, I got my itty bitty book torchlite and read it half und...

Oh, yes, sheets dried on the line are beautiful. I remember when I was little sheets were hanging outside in winter, frozen rigid and ringing like iron. I love drying my son's things outside, over my lemon bush and mint and near jasmine. Now that I'm temporarily without a washing machine, I had to ...

Thank you, Voronwë. But you and are twain on this subject. It doesn't really matter, you know. I love LOTR despite what I think of as a few flaws. No work is perfect! It is closer to perfect than nearly anything else I ever read, particularly something so long and involved and detailed. If it hadn't...

The Golden Spruce
I have posted this elsewhere, but I'm posting it here. Why? Because of the pictures for which the link is provided. There are several that bring Quan Yin strongly to mind.

I have always found this little tale quite chilling, and very much in line with the heavy emphasis that Tolkien often placed on 'doom' and 'fate'. But the question I always wonder about is, did Nerdanel merely foretell her favorite sons demise (albeit indirectly) or did she pre-ordain it? Both, in ...
