coming in the air
tonight
. . . Oh Lord
“You will not fear the terror
of night, nor the arrow that
flies by day, nor the pestilence
that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys
at midday.” ~ Psalm 91:5-6

I’ve never been more grateful to
live down under here in the Lucky

(despite the occasional bushfire)
and the government true πΆπΈπ

Although I read Tongariro National Park in NZ was the real setting for the Land of Mordor, beautiful scenery. The fictional Land of Mordor as you say was not Godβs countryβ¦..

Not to mention Hell’s Kitchen,
and some other parts of New York.
Like that big golden tower where a
disreputable wizard keeps his
trophy wife imprisoned. He only
brings her out for occasions of
state pomp and circumstance.
I lived in New Zealand for a little
while. Hiked the MacKenzie pass,
but no hobbit, dwarf, or elf in sight.

Interesting. I have just read Hell’s Kitchen by Jeffrey Deaver. Are we talking about Trump Tower? You ain’t referring to the First Lady are you? Could the hobbits, dwarfs and elfs maybe run and hid when they saw you coming?…..

Another turning point
a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
and don’t ask why
It’s not a question
but a lesson learned in time
It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right
I hope you had the time of your life

Love your artwork and great post! Talk about good timing. Living in CA with smoky air for almost a month and raging fires up and down the state and further up the west coast, itβs been a bit unsettling. Take care and enjoy each day. Lauren

Thank you very much, Lauren.
Living in country Australia, I know

Most of Australia has had a drought
breaking wet winter and early spring.
So the upcoming summer should be
a bit less incendiary, thankfully π
