The Window on the West

Trials beneath the trees; tests of the heart in the garden of Gondor.

We fumble side-by-side in the darkness; our motives are obscure. We struggle to sidestep traps and snares. Dark visions have come between us – a grey boat’s passing down the river to the sea. Bright visions rise up before us – a great rush of water; a city of light bejewelled; our noontide. Glimpses of lost glory and lost lore. Temptations in the twilight hour.

The chance is taken. Faith is kept; light and wisdom linger in the West.

Break bread together. Hold fast together. It will be enough.

Endurance, and hope.

This is beautiful; I like the way you constructed it out of images.

Thank you. It's such a wordy chapter, putting it together as pictures seemed to be the way to go.

Very beautiful, like the flow of this and the image of the three of them taking a chance on trusting each other.

Me again, still in tears, still shivering. You've really managed to capture the essence of the quest here. Lovely.
