My husband and I recently visited Watkins Glen State Park in New York. We hiked a spectacular gorge trail in the park that boasted no less than twenty waterfalls! It was breathtaking, but what was even more breathtaking to me was a comment my husband made after taking the photo featured here. He said, “It looks like Middle Earth.”
What was breathtaking to me about my husband’s comment was that he had pictured in his mind what the fictional world of Middle Earth, created by author J.R.R. Tolkien, would look like. Words did that. Words in black ink on a white page. Talk about the power of words! It is truly astounding – breathtaking – that words have so much power when absorbed by the imagination. What a glory it is to have the privilege of being a writer – to offer words that open the imagination and create beautiful, amazing worlds in the minds of readers!
