Of dumb laws and awesome musicals.

I am frustrated.....Some of the Nebraska laws are just idiotic.....mostly because they make me retake tests that I have already taken....for their amusement....and at the taxpayer's expense.

That's not what I got on to tell you. I wanted to say that Elly and I found The Lord of the Rings Musical last night on youtube...and contrary to what most would immediately think, it rocks.
I send you link.

So I was listening to it last night and crying...Because it's soooo beautiful to me. Keeping in mind the artist's discussion this Tuesday, I set about to figure out why it was so beautiful to me.

I have come to the conclusion that firstly the vocals are stunning and the costuming and visual stuff that they do in the clip was so cool...But beyond that, it reminds me of all the places that I love.
Like the woods and how when you enter them it's like entering another dimension because the peacefulness is so profound.
Or Nicaragua, not the most peaceful place, but when I went there, specifically the first time, I was blown away by the beauty of the people and their hearts.
Or my own home and how it is a haven, and whenever I am away for a day or two even, I will be missing it already, and how it is safe and a place of rest where I have family and things of my own that I hold dearly.

I hope that makes sense. I really do.

I believe that's all....I just had to tell you about that.
