\nI covet this print.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s called “The Three Wizards”

I’ve had the same quote for awhile, but I haven’t changed it because I haven’t found another one that suits my situation or mood as well as the\u00c2\u00a0current quote\u00c2\u00a0does.\u00c2\u00a0 Then, I was watching Lord of the Rings again, and I rediscovered one of\u00c2\u00a0my all-time\u00c2\u00a0favorite quotes.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I decided to\u00c2\u00a0post the quote from the book — the original source — instead of the movie:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
“Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wish it need not have happened in my time,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Frodo.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So do I,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Gandalf, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
— JRR Tolkein, Fellowship of the Ring, Chapter 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u00c2\u00a0hear Ian McKellan’s voice now\u00c2\u00a0whenever I read this quote.\u00c2\u00a0 Good thing he has such a lovely, melodious, and perfect Gandalf voice. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I also rediscovered, after many many years absence, one of my favorite songs.\u00c2\u00a0 I love it when that happens.\u00c2\u00a0 I was eating breakfast with Lily\u00c2\u00a0at Taco Cabana\u00c2\u00a0when the great 70s funk classic by Sly and the Family Stone, “If You Want Me to Stay,” came on the speakers.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s a great song, and it was fun having it pop up in my life again… in Taco Cabana of all places.\u00c2\u00a0 They usually play Tejano.\u00c2\u00a0 The world is an unexpected place.<\/p>\n

I posted the song (you have to click the play button twice):<\/p>\n[audio:http:\/\/www.angelsdesk.com\/angel\/audio\/if_you_want_me_to_stay.mp3]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
