The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can
oh tolkein
such a myth weaver that one
(link to full poem by jrr tolkein here: [link])
i think im about ready to reread lotr again
im all caught up with game of thrones and well, i guess im in the mood for some proper high fantasy
This is another one from my show, the largest.
i’ve been doing a lot of research and putting some thought into myth and story lately, and though i’m not the first to come to this conclusion, it bears mentioning as it is a neat thought,
almost all stories, myths and adventures share a common theme and that the journey. internal, external, physical metaphysical all stories are journeys. so for the biggest piece in my show (this one is about 40x40”) i thought the road ahead was a pretty apt metaphor.
