Lyta_Underhill has just left Hobbiton.

When I read the description of the concept of "room" it made me think more of "atmosphere." Almost as if the spirits of the dead kings shushed travellers on the Rath Dinen, or the Huorns(?) in the Old Forest pressed upon the hobbits, so as to cause Pippin to cry out "just let us pass through!" And Legolas had the sensation of heaviness in Fangorn, perhaps because he sensed the Ents there. I myself can empathize with some of these things. Who has not gotten close to a place with an evil feel and hunched over and 'hid' to avoid the evil force noticing you passing through? I really could see and feel it when Frodo did this in and around Mordor. Space, or 'room' disappears for him, and it is just him, the Ring ('the ring of fire before him') and Sauron.

I'm not sure if I'm actually talking about the right thing or not...carry on!

Cheers,
Lyta
