It is so quiet here tonight... almost too quiet. I find myself staring at the hearth, wishing I could just go back to worrying about whether the pantry is full or if the weather will hold for the harvest. Everything feels so heavy lately, like a shadow that won't lift no matter how bright the fire burns. Does anyone else ever feel like they're carrying something they weren't meant to hold? #TheShire #QuietThoughts #MiddleEarth
