I’ve been folding and stitching medical grade face masks to be used by caregivers
and patients in local hospitals. They’re not very pretty, and they’re not a lot
of fun to make. But making them is something I can do that might help. After
the first few dozen, the work has become a bit robotic. So, I’ve been watching
the Hobbit movies as I go, just to break the monotony. I’ve read the book and
seen the movies many times, but this time one particular scene stood out for me:
Galadriel: “Mthrandir, why the halfling?”
Gandalf: "Saruman believes it is only great power that
can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the
small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts
of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he
gives me courage."
