A far green country.....

Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path.....one that we all must take.The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back.....and all turns to silver glass and then you see it.
Pippin: What, Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf : White shores......and beyond.A far green country...under a swift sunrise
Pippin: Well......that isn't so bad
Gandalf : No.No, it isn't.

This oft quoted sequnce from Lord of The Rings...makes a lot of sense. Life is meant to be highs and lows - there is no other way you can have it. Life's job is to give you a high that makes you fly and then switch on the gravity so that you come falling down with huge THUD! As you get up and brush of your bruises - the hardest part.. a new high will be sent your way...I dont know what the funda behind this great design is - but thats the way it is, thats the way it is!

Hi Wundergal,

I cannot see what your comment has to do with the Lord of the Rings quote…

Gandalf is talking about life after death not life here and now…

Thanks Everyone!

@Livingsword : Sometimes we die even when we are still living and the vision of a far green country helps us get out of such living deaths too...
