L.D.B. Taylor (aka Lisa) is a lifelong reader and writer. Her award-winning fiction, memoir, and non-fiction have appeared in both print and online publications. She blogs (occasionally) at ldbtaylor.com and writes (daily) from Witt's End, her rambling, perpetually dusty home in the hills of Utah among the deer, wild turkey, coyotes, and occasional mountain lion along with her five children, six (it's a long story) dogs, four parakeets, a dozen or so chickens, and one husband. She appreciates wit, chocolate, hot tea, British accents, cool mountain evenings, kindness, travel, and books by the score.

In Which I Am Still Sick of Covid

For TodaySunday, February 14, 2021 Looking out my windowI see all the snow I was wishing for back in November! It’s lovely that it’s finally arrived, and I hope it sticks around and is joined by a lot more. Although…it does complicate my newly reinstated […]

“All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones moving easily under the flesh.”
Doris Lessing

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness, and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo...and it's worth fighting for.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
