About this online journal...
(Telling Tales)
"I wonder what sort of a tale we've fallen into?"
"I wonder," said Frodo. "But I don't know. And that's the way of a real tale. Take any one that you're fond of. You may know, or guess, what kind of a tale it is, happy-ending or sad-ending, but the people in it don't know. And you don't want them to."
"No, sir, of course not. . . . Why, to think of it, we're in the same tale still! It's going on. Don't the great tales never end?"
"No, they never end as tales," said Frodo. "But the people in them come, and go when their part's ended. Our part will end later - or sooner."1
I like that thought, that we're all playing our own individual and unique parts in a great tale.
And in a less dramatic way, that's also what I perceive myself as doing here - looking back at my life, recognizing the tales, and then writing them down.
