Helen, that was one awesome post you made about Tolkien and Lewis. You do have a stout heart my sister! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Inkling, I don't think I could have said it better than Mark, but I'll try.

Tolkien's story is more of a myth that points to a Higher Order, a Greater Truth than what is around us. These principles are to show that there is a better way, something more that is beyond us. As Helen said, his works are more metaphysical and mystical.
