Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or
weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who

the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the
joyous; and all for your love's sake.

A friend working at the college bookstores came across Terry Pratchett’s Eric while unboxing course books.
He though “Who assigned Discworld for their class”, then saw my name on the course info and was like “ok, yeah that check out.”

This Tolkien quote has been stuck in my mind:
We all long for Eden, and we are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature at its best and least corrupted, its gentlest and most human, is still soaked with the sense of exile.
GAH it’s so…this is how I feel about fantasy worlds and my nebulous faith
