As I finish the last words I confront this mental haze, this poetic fog, this chaotic mess.
I drift down this forest path. The cloudy windy day barely stirs my senses. This lostness that has consumed my mind blocks all rational thought and feeling.
The trees and decaying matter swell around me, threaten me like that of a memory. I feel the dark terror and understand it yet feel no raw danger.

The Law
'Good and evil have not changed since yesteryear, nor are they one thing among Elves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house,’ Aragorn.
When we think about law, we think about arbitrary rules relegated to us by some foreign and fanciful entity; I do, at least. This is how many people view the law described in the Bible.
