Subject:	There are phases, and then there are PHASES
Message:
and my PHASE is lifelong. I decided my hobby was costing too much two years ago, so I turned it into a business, and I breed sport horses now. I LOVE it (though it's heartbreaking as well; my best mare, who must be a descendent of the mearas, lost twins this spring). I hope your time/economy will allow for you to have a horse someday soon. I thought I'd given them up when I had kids, but it only got worse, and I bought my first registered horse then (rather than a cowboy reject); now they are my sanity, my escape (along w/ LotR and other literature/criticism, but then, everyone needs PHYSICAL escape, too). Yikes, horses and books have been the only consistent thing throughout my life. I guess that's not so bad.... Not all those who wander are lost.

Did you ever notice how grey (or silver) seems to be Tolkien's favorite color? (No Text) <cabbage'n'taters> [7/16/2002 @ 9:20] (5/23)

To follow up on this, what colours didn't he like? <Caleniel> [7/17/2002 @ 5:27] (2/5)

Well, I know what hair color he didn't like!!! <Thevina Finduilas> [7/17/2002 @ 12:08] (0/0)

There's blue in... <Caleniel> [7/17/2002 @ 9:42] (2/2)

Perhaps the black uniforms represent <Kiskadee> [7/17/2002 @ 14:09] (0/0)

Yes,and it reminds me of Yeats <Kiskadee> [7/16/2002 @ 11:02] (2/7)

Ok, Yeats/Tolkien fans, tell me... <notlost> [7/16/2002 @ 21:13] (1/4)

I don't recall an example of that <Kiskadee> [7/16/2002 @ 23:24] (1/3)

No, I DO see similarities--but I was hoping someone could show me my fav. Yeats image in Tolkien (No Text) <notlost> [7/16/2002 @ 23:34] (1/2)

The closest things I found <Kiskadee> [7/17/2002 @ 0:42] (1/1)

Good point <Eledhwen> [7/16/2002 @ 11:32] (1/8)

White horses are rare <Draupne> [7/16/2002 @ 12:43] (1/7)

Since you appear knowledgeable... <Watson> [7/16/2002 @ 14:20] (3/6)

I can't think off any <Draupne> [7/18/2002 @ 12:50] (0/0)
