You write beautifully, Karissa! I’m going to subscribe and look forward to more. I think you would enjoy my latest post on one of my favorite novels, Elizabeth Gaskell’s “North and South.” You and I share a similar outlook. https://katesusong.substack.com/p/north-and-south-its-not-what-you

Very nice post, Karissa! I am wholeheartedly in favor of inspiration and connection derived from (or simply found in) Tolkien's works!

He does this throughout his work, discussing tales and the meaning of tales and legends--even as we experience one of the best by reading him!

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for reading! There's so much to glean from Tolkien that I find something new every time I look at his work.
