Have you ever seen a butterfly hatch? I did, several months ago. I saw it crack it's coccon and crawl out, airing it's beautiful black wings before it finally lifted up into the wide sky. This birth, this change, like a pheonix from ashes, is very much the change the books had in me.

I was a geek, a loner, and afraid of dang near everything- including me. Lord of the Rings, and the other books, taught me not to fear, to love everything, even myself. I wasn't afraid to love the way I did, or express myself in my writing, and it taught me a great respect for everything. History class, great streatches of trees or a solo oak, the way smoke unfurls from a tea cup, the way I can make my friend's eye's sparkle when I laugh- I can laugh now! The works have greatly changed me, and for the better, I'd like to think.
