I was in a foreign country when some type of coup broke out. The whole city lost power, and from my vantage point on the street, I could hear gunfire as a militia group went floor-by-floor through a darkened hotel building, executing everyone they found.
Wow Robbie, this is such an incredible perspective. I definitely needed this reminder. It's so easy to get caught up in all of my problems that I forget just how easy I really have it.
"I remember being struck by this quote from The Hobbit movie, when Thorin, at the moment of his own death and at the end of their harrowing journey, says to Bilbo, “Farewell, Master Burglar. Go back to your books, and your armchair. Plant your trees, watch them grow.” If we have this, we are truly blessed.
Beautiful read. Thanks for writing and sharing. It’s incredible to realize how such small pleasures are the world’s greatest gifts.
They really are! It's just hard to feel the way we should about them when it's all we've ever known.
