Tolkien Adrift… Part Two

Published by sarabella under Living, Writing Edit This

Sara HarrisSo I started this bit yesterday, and I’ll bet there’s someone out there in the cyber universe who will inexplicably say, “This is deep.” 

Okay, somaybe it does have a certain subterranean value, especially for early hour musings (2:36 a.m.), but what the hell.  I get a lot flack for being a writer and working from home and applying fashion seriously and my photography and even for my use of terminology.  For example, I’ve been told on a number of instances that I simply know too many words in the English dictionary!  Is this a bad thing?  I mean chastise me for not kowtowing or kissing ass, but forcing airs of charismatic diversity, I’m thinking, present a lot of personal confusion opposed to individuality.  So should I pretend to be something I’m not?  Frankly, I’ve been guilty of this on a few occasions, and it isn’t pretty… doesn’t suit me… it just doesn’t. 

Despite knowing, many people who consider these moments of lingering self-discovery, writing, blogging, researching, ms submissions as a form of misplaced leadership, laziness, and futility…  Tolkien said it best.

“Not all who wander are lost.”

And I suppose I believe him.
