what helped me get past the 'down' post (see below)

i just started following @TolkienBooks on twitter, so i was going through some of his pictures. i came across this:

he captioned it: "There's a feeling I get when I look to the West..."

yes. 
there's a desire to go West, go Home.
so i listened to 'into the west,' which is so restful and beautiful, and it helped get my perspective turned around (seriously, i should write thank you notes to fran walsh, howard shore, and annie lennox for the number of times it's helped me). someday i will get to lay down my weary head, and it will be glorious. in the meantime, it's okay if i'm weary. someday i will get to not be.
