All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king
-J.R.R. Tolkien
I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien
Happy Saturday! In case you are surprised to see a Gem today, please visit our new page ÉOWYN. Every day for four weeks, from October 14 to November 10, we’ll be creating new pages for the journey from Bag End to Rivendell made by Frodo and companions in J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. For the first three of these weeks, this will coincide with a walking challenge, walking through Earth and tracking miles on Middle Earth, being hosted on Kindspring.org from October 14 to November 3. All welcome. This began in on under1000skies in September 2015 and was meant to be at least a yearly event but life got in the way as it does sometimes. Once this current journey and all the milestones are finished, we’ll do this at least once a year until all 18 walks through Middle Earth (17 official and one I’m winging completely) are finished.
