ILL WIND

The wind keeps shifting, south and east and back. I cannot help thinking of the saying in my father’s realm, that “An East wind blows bad news; a Southeast wind worse yet.” It has not been long since we saw crebain.

I look at the others. Mithrandir and Aragorn are worried; Boromir is watchful and wary; the Dwarf seems impervious.

But the hobbits are dispirited and discouraged. They seem only now to grasp the enormity of the journey. I hear the fear beneath their poor attempts at jesting.

I cannot help but wonder if we are doing the right thing.
