May the Morse be with you

Meadow Dreams…..

Stay up late thinking about the character

Be haunted by the memory of the character

Be tormented by visions of a made-up guy (gn)

Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
