Wiz in the Woods

I did not want to rise this morning when the alarm went off at 5:30.

I did not want to do my Pilates routine.

I did not want to lift weights.

I did not want to run the scheduled 8 miles.

As I sat gazing into my palantír, the words of Gandalf whispered to me, “Do not then stumble at the end of the road.”

Heeding his words, I did all of today’s needed work.

I have trained hard and must not stumble. The end of this particular road is a mere four weeks and five days away.
