Tolkien, Lewis & Theology

[Mister Underhill]

Some people just mistake the form for the essential meaning.

An all too common failing of organized religion, sadly.

There's nothing like a good driving rainstorm to make me want to delve into Tolkien -- not to mention write my own stuff. Why is it that rain and writing go so well together? Unfortunately, it seems to rain here for only about one week out of the year.

Maril, I'm always interested in your Eastern perspective on the occasions when you grace us with it.
