Captivating Prose

[Seceres]

Just listening to the Enya interview found on the LOTR soundtrack, just watching Middle-Earth again while in a rather spiritual mood, it awakened such deep emotions within me perhaps I have the urge to cry. I suppose what I am reflecting here is, to me, J.R.R Tolkien was an inspired storyteller. Perhaps the world came to him, perhaps he created it. Either way, this story captivates us, welling deep emotions up from within us in such a way that it just draws you in. It is hard to explain the emotions in depth I feel about Middle-Earth. I suppose that the ultimate goal of storytelling is to captivate your audience, your friends as they truly become, with such a great story that it just yanks us in. Yet I do not know how, at all, that J.R.R Tolkien became such a success, I think it awakened something deep, something sleeping, within each person on Earth. What is this mysterious force that drives stories to height? Is there any way to express the depth of emotion I feel about this, perhaps, I am a poet. I do not know what to say, but Ii have a deep urge to storytell, to just let go, and be able to guide people to the mysteries of the universe. Storytelling is such a lost art in RL, and the scene of grandfather with the children around the fire is gone. Yet these stories are almost heart wrenching, it is just..........
sorry for the sudden outburst, but I just feel so.....inspired
