All that glitters is not gold…

July 21st, 2008 by timelady

…nor all those who wander are lost.

Things are not always what they seem.

We are adamant and ephemeral in our feelings. There are core feelings, deep, abiding tides, then there are the shifting currents of emotion.

We make decisions based on both, but too often, on the latter.It is so hard to recognise what is solid, real feeling, and what is the mood of now.

The difference between depression and being depressed, really.

The currents were rising above my head tonight. I got thrown a lifeline by a simple message that made me laugh with joy, and yet had nothing to do with me except as a shared tale.

Through all that has happened in the last few years, I have struggled with currents. They are just currents though, and I can swim, for I have so many lifeboats in my ocean.

The quote is from Lord Of The Rings - and very apt for my rescuer tonight. A lover of Ents.

    Somehow, I started reading your ENTry from the small print at the bottom and thought “how cool, she has 2 Ent lover friends” then I realised - ’twas me ;)
    Looked up LOTR on Encyclopedia Dramatica - oh my! Ms 13 has scarred me, for life.
