b2memAthelas they named it, and it grows now sparsely and only near places where they dwelt or camped of old; and it is not known in the North, except to some of those who wander in the Wild. It has great virtues …
Throughout the month, we will offer weekly wildcard days, days when there are no new prompts but instead a simple, Tolkien-related task, for those who wish to participate. We hope wildcard days will give you a chance to refresh your muses, read, catch up on your WiPs, and breathe! :)
Our second wildcard day task: Stop and smell the athelas.
All of us came here from more or less the same place. We picked up a book or maybe went to see a movie. We found ourselves in a new world, from which we have not yet been able to fully return.
Today, we stop and remember what brought us here. Maybe there was a chapter, a passage, a scene, a character--something that grabbed your hand or your heart and has never let go. For today’s wildcard task, choose your favorite chapter from Tolkien and reread it.
Still it smells sweet when bruised, does it not? If sweet is the right word: wholesome, maybe, is nearer.
If you wish to participate in today’s wildcard day, you don’t have to do anything special besides rereading your favorite chapter. Of course, if you want to say more about what you chose or how you came to love Tolkien, do feel free to comment here or make a post to this community.
