My decision to go left is based on one major idea. I'm all about seeing and experiencing everything I can before I take Illuvatar’s gift.

My, I seem to have found myself a compatriot! Thank you for agreeing with me, Elusive; but it was originally Alda's words that made me rethink it.
But I quote it because it's true; who cares what happens? We're human, we'll probably die before any real huge change comes to Middle Earth, and I, like Elusive and Alda, plan on making the best of what we're given until the time comes to accept Illuvatar's gift whole-heartedly.

Thank you Pale Star, I am flattered you enjoyed my post.

It seems there are quite a few of us who, if given the chance wouldn't hesitate to enter Tolkien's world. Our only problem it seems is getting there.......

In another fantasy world inhabited by wizards and little people, the great wizard found a wonderfuly ingenious way into the realm. A Balloon!

I was thinking if we all pile onto my swelled head, perhaps we could float to Middle-Earth! We might at least make it over the rainbow.

Aw, your head's not that big..*gives Alda a hug*
Yes, let us all pile onto a balloon and float into space...and beyond. I'll sign up right now; that is, if no one minds me singing Tolkien songs and 'The Rainbow Connection'...

And Alda, I'm flattered that your flattered.That's possibly the greatest compliment; to have people be inspired by your words.
