The Lord Of The Rings
This series is near and dear to my heart there's so many lessons and wisdom within it that I am constantly refreshed by its intentional and deep meaning.
An epic tale and adventure is what awaits me in my own life and I am regularly inspired by the Lord of the Rings epic. I resonate with growing up in the Shire and then venturing out into the world of men. I have come to see the good and the evil doing battle while more importantly I see the middle way, The Gray Haven, the Tom bombadil. Being content with what I have and grateful for all the miracles at work.
I feel truths in my heart that are put into conception by the story of Lord of the Rings. Even though it is fiction there's a great deal that can be gleaned from it of the nonfictional world. Like all great films stories and messages the Lord of the Rings is a teacher full of lessons.
Sure there is romanticism in it's fantasy but that should not overshadow the great wisdom within.
In my life I grew up with rolling hills and streams of lush green so very similar to the Shire. A home like no other, and no one else can experience the same. A raw, special, unique, genuine, and loving place to begin my life. Like all things my Shire was subject to impermanence.
I'm honored to have experienced such a Divine place, and reflect back on my childhood with immense gratitude.
And now as a young adult similar to the age of frodo and the hobbits I'm embarking on a journey of my own. Now my life is in my hands. It is not dictated entirely by outside forces particularly the element of where I live. I'm undergoing a mission, an exciting new chapter in which I seek out places to live. My ties and responsibilities have all been wrapped up as much as they can be and I'm free in this moment of my life to go where I please, to be as I please, and to live as I please. I am so excited and the possibilities are endless and yet within the immensity of options the path I choose will be found and walked upon.
I love myself and this world. Thank you Lord of the rings for helping me dream big and realize the potential of my adventure.
This world is big; Not too big
