I only wish I'd paid more attention when I was a kid!

When I was little, my sister and I would watch programmes like dungeons and dragons, and play it out in the garden. We pretended there was a gradon in our garden....*sigh*
I once had my own little bow and arrow that i'd made myself, with wool as the bow string! Took it everywhere on holiday with me...and got quite good at it, considering it was poor craftsmanship and I was, what, 6 or 7 maybe and knee-high to a hobbit. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I didnt actually read LOTR until Christmas just past. It's a pity I didnt hold onto that childhood wonder in fantasy or read Tolkien at an earlier age. It would have helped me through a lot of difficult times...namely school! (Araen, I understand)

But no. I am here now, and that's what counts. Things in the past have happened for a reason, though what it is I sure as hell don't know!
Now i'm making up for severe lost time, and I'm slowly trudging through the Silm. Fancinating stuff.

My reply not as deep or profound as what you have come up with, but these are my thoughts, and hope they don't sound too foolish.

Anyway, I'm off for blueberry muffins and stories by the fire.
