Lore of the Rings

Where did it all begin? Middle-earth, the languages, the books, the stories, the legends . . . Why did JRR Tolkien imagine Middle-earth? What does it all mean? What is the meaning of life?

Today we explore these questions of the soul as we journey through the Waldman Letter, penned by JRR Tolkien. Okay, to confess, we may not get to the meaning of life . . . but who knows? We’re wandering Middle-earth, and if we don’t keep our feet, there’s no knowing where we’ll be swept of too, as uncle Bilbo used to say!
