I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

I love sunlight on boardwalks and Tolkien. And to think that J. R. R. Tolkien was still alive when I was 23 years old.
It just might be a sunny day here!
Thank you, Dawn!
What a beautiful place to take a walk.
