I spent much of my early career thinking about peacebuilding. But in this book, I can only reference in a few paragraphs what I spent years trying to learn about nonviolent civil resistance.
It makes sense. It's a book about Tolkien and trees, not arguments on the impact and efficacy of nonviolence.
It just feels like I'm exercising a ghost limb.

In response to this postWhat a line from Tolkien. I actually teared up a little in reading it. I think about the things we lose daily.
"Well, cheers and all that to you dearest son. We were born in a dark age out of due time (for us). But there is this comfort: otherwise we should not know, or so much love, what we do love. I imagine the fish out of water is the only fish to have an inkling of water."

I have a pretty good excerpt of my book on Tolkien themes and the modern environmentalist movement. I'm mixing together the Ents destroying Isengard with the Brazillian government breaking up illegal mining infrastructure in the Amazon. I'm going to publish it soon - hope you folks are interested.
