| | I read the part of Fellowship of the Ring today where the hobbits get
lost in the old forest, and the trees are leading them to the Withywindle
to be captured. Then I went out into the swamp for a walk, and managed
to get myself "lost." Of course, I really always knew where I was and
where the house was (the only two things that really matter in the
swamp :)), but I didn't always know how to get where I wanted to go. I
had to keep reminding myself that the bushes weren't actually out to
get me. The swamp can make some deceptive trails all on its own --
places where the bushes open invitingly and draw you in and on until
suddenly you find yourself up against a wall of brambles or a deep part
of the creek. I must admit that I looked suspiciously at the fir trees
every time that happened...and held my breath while I was ducking
through them, as if I had been going under water. But I made it home in
the end, despite the trees. |
