tuesday...

i did all sort of things today. ran some errands - almost lost my temper (again), watched the extended version of the Fellowship of the Ring. Strange how that movie touches something deep in all of us - certainly the cinematography is breathtaking, certainly the characters, the acting were excellent - but something far more primitive speaks to us as we watch the reenactment of the battle of good and evil - something that harks to our collective origin draws us in...yes, this is who we are, this is what we have forgotten: that at the very core of who we are, we long for somthing good, something pure, something that is now beyond us as we lay broken, fractured, flawed. And yet, this stirring gives us hope. It gives us life. It drives us to go on, to go further, to continue, for something unimagined, something worthwhile, something far beyond our dreams await us. Let us journey on - through the routines of life, through its pains, even through its obstacles. A gift awaits us.
