Yesterday we had a LOTR marathon. Thing 2 has been playing a new game-- actually its a mod for his old game, but that is neither here nor there-- based on Tolkien's work, & it stirred a desire to revisit the series. So we loaded them on Amazon & got to watching.
Watching The Two Towers, I was struck anew with Sam's big speech {toward the end of the movie}. I looked it up & was inspired to design one of my quote graphics.
It seems particularly striking given the ridiculous political climate we are currently experiencing in America. One day I may go into a political & historical monologue-- when the campaigning gets going, the spinners start spinning, the liars start lying & it all gets to be too much-- but it is not this day!
Sorry, but couldn't resist the reference to another great speech from Return of the King.
Today is a day for inspiration-- for lemonade, & rainbows, & carefree afternoons...
All right, all right, the last one clearly went back to politics. So sue me~*

Our politics are definitely not as dramatic in Canada. Great people in the US...but crazy politics!
ReplyDeleteI admit I know absolutely nothing about LOTR but I'm intrigued that your family is into it.
We also love those movies/books. Tolkien was a genious! Love all your quotes and I am anxiously awaiting your political tirade :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes and I love the Picasso, I'd never seen that drawing before. I'm waiting for the tirade too ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this inspiration! The Shakespeare quote is beautiful. I have a fashion and lifestyle blog and I'd love you to check it out sometime.
