Hullo Bethberry,

Fascinating that you'd be discussing parables this week. I'd be very interested and grateful if you could go into further detail. * bows *

As for me, I spent part of this week wondering about the possibility of quoting from Tolkien to a group of people who've never read Tolkien's works and seem prejudiced against him, and only revealing that I was quoting Tolkien after the group of people started nodding their heads in agreement with the points the quotes were making.

But then, perhaps the only place where like minds and kindred spirits such as ourselves can gather in a haven of understanding is somewhere like here, the Barrow Downs.
