Small Things

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.

Homosexuality & LGBTQ+

Every anti-gay remark from the Church gives the thug a license to be cruel.

Ian Mckellen

No breath, no cheer, death not to fear.
Time is not spent, roses has no scent.
At nothing you can marvel without me.
