To peel the layers of the self,
revealing the quiet core—
where true stillness begins
and everything aligns.

Got a shot of the Pleiades tonight. Luthien and I were hoping to see an aurora. I'd seen a few reports they were visible last night on the Dunedin Causeway, so we went there hoping for a repeat performance. It may still happen. But I've got work in the morning. #nightsky #pleiades #stars

I think the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit is likely going to be the best adaptation of Tolkien's novel that we're ever going to get. Its art design runs the gamut from rustic to creepy to lovely, and its assortment of songs lend it a fairy tale quality that really fits the story.

Two days’ ride west of Rivendell, Glorfindel reaches the Last Bridge over the River Hoarwell and finds it guarded by three Nazgûl. He chases them westward, leaving a beryl stone on the bridge to mark his passage.

It’s dark. Sam asks for a tale. Strider tells of Tinúviel: ‘It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth.
‘The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering…’

Suzail was the capital of Cormyr. It was one of two Cormyrean ports and a huge variety of trade goods flowed through the city.
