"not all those who wander are lost" ~

....

last night i stayed up late reading, praying here and there, thinking of others. it felt so good to take a moment in stillness, to put my own, this and that aside, to think of those who may need a good and honest thought to come their way. then gently moving on to reading the beautiful words of others.

i think this may be one of my absolute favorite things i read.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

off to send a project in, that i happened to be so proud of. i am so grateful for the work. : ) i will keep you updated.

i am musing today. : )

you are loved ~
