Pitchers ===============
Tolkien biographer Joseph Pearce and I have collaborated on a new EWTN TV special on J.R.R. Tolkien that will be broadcast this week!. The production will include dozens of my illustrations of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and it will focus on the Catholicity of Tolkien's magnum opus. Air dates for the show, which should be accessible worldwide over EWTN and online, are Wednesday, April 6 at 10pm EST, Friday, April 8 at 1pm EST, and Saturday, April 9 at 5am EST. For more information, see http://www.ewtn.com/tv/index.asp .
Ponderings ==============
Where now the horse and the rider? where is the horn that was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harp-string, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
These lines and more were chanted by Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings, and were attributed to a long lost poet of Rohan, the realm of the horse lords from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
In my own imaginings, I've been roaming through Rohan in recent days. Like a keening heard across a great rolling plain, there is something about the Lenten season, coupled with the tales of Eorl the Young and his people, that pierces my heart. The Lenten desert begets reflection on the power, the pride, and the pain of the Rohirrim; for they, of all of Tolkien's feigned tribes, are the most mortal. And it is their aching mortality that infects my musings.
Rohan is, of course, a sort of lens offered us with which to see our own world more clearly. When we look into this glass, we may believe we are seeing a sub-created realm of proud and ancient warriors, but in fact, we are descrying ourselves from an unusual vantage point. This is what G.K. Chesterton described in his tale from Orthodoxy, wherein he posits a traveler leaving England to seek distant shores. In that tale, and unbeknownst to the traveler himself, he lands once again in England, and is only thus able to see his own world afresh.
Rohan illustrates what it means to be caught without shelter in the storms of time, without refuge and without any certain hope in anything beyond our five senses. The people of Rohan were like the Greek Stoics, who had no faith in anything transcendental, but who nevertheless held to a high and noble code of right and wrong. And the warriors of Rohan tried to find a way for noble deeds alone to bring them a sort of fleeting immortality, a way of being remembered by future generations in tales and in song, even after life, and labor, and love had all lapsed away.
I suspect we all, at times, ponder what we will leave behind us on this Middle-earth once we are gone. When I paint the windswept plains of Rohan, I am reminded that most of the original seven wonders of the ancient world are no more…where they once stood is now as barren as the grasslands that surrounded Edoras, or as empty as the outskirts of Greytown in C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce. What became of all those who toiled to erect the Lighthouse of Alexandria? Or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Does anyone remember their names, or the stories they once shared? Was there any point to their efforts, now that even their greatest works are but rumors on a fickle wind?
And yet Theoden, the king of Rohan who came to the aid of a besieged Gondor, was not entirely without hope and faith. For, in his final words, he affirmed his belief that he could now rest in honor with this forefathers, since he had proven himself trustworthy and valiant in battle and in the great ongoing struggle against evil.
Rohan existed in a pre-Christian era: in a time when the final resting place of Elves was known by the Wise, but when the fate of men, once they perished, was yet a mystery. Eru Iluvatar had not disclosed His plans for mankind, not even to the Valar, during the long ages when the Rohirrim bred their steeds in the grassy plains of the Mark.
As a result, the days of King Theoden were like the dark time of Lent…a time of trouble, of doubt, and of turbulence. In such times we can, in our own age, take comfort in the coming of Eastertide; but for the Rohirrim, the coming of Christ was yet to be. Nothing in their lore assured them of what they might find once they crossed the threshold from life into death.
But they desperately desired that their deeds not be forgotten. They enjoyed the good things that they found on this earth: they raised their families; they defended the innocent; they fought against slavery and exploitation; they welcomed aid and wisdom where they found it. They knew not that one day a Savior would come, yet they lived each day desperately hoping that, when all ceased to be, there would yet be something remaining to mark their passage, something that the winds of time could not entirely erase. Surely all of the goodness of life could not just vanish with their final breath; surely there was something more than just this earthly realm…
C.S. Lewis once said "If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world."
I believe the witness of Rohan, and of all noble civilizations, is that we were made for another world. There is a reason why we seek after truth, goodness, and beauty, even when it appears that these will never entirely be within our grasp; and that reason, that yearning, does not cease when darkness falls. Nay, in truth, it is only then that we may come to know how grand and glorious a tale it is that we have been a part of all along.
I wish for you and yours a soul-nourishing Lenten season. I pray that these forty days might strengthen your love of what is good and noble, and that you might awaken on Easter morning to the certainty that all of the good that you do on this earth is not in vain, and that the darkness will never prevail.
Nai Eru lye mánata

[ElfstoneLARP] Mystical Realms Newsletter for March, 2011
Greetings!
And welcome to my newsletter for February, 2011! Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think would be interested in keeping up with me! To receive these newsletters regularly, please drop me an email or subscribe online from my website (http://www.JefMurray.com ) or at: http://groups.google.com/group/Mystical_Realms . Notices of events and items of interest are at the bottom of this email.
Pitchers ===============
I have posted three new painting images on my website. These are "The Seat of Seeing", "Troll Fells", and "Dawn at Lake-town". All three are Tolkien-inspired works. You can see all of these by going to http://www.JefMurray.com and clicking on the "Newest Works" button on the top of the page.
As always, these and all of the works in my online galleries are available as signed and numbered limited-edition Giclee prints.
Do let me know how these new images strike you!
Ponderings ==============
The shovel rings as I thrust it into the ground. "Great", I think, "another *%$@!! tree root." I stop for a moment and rest against the spade. Its handle has become soft with age; the lace tracery of the ash tree's rings still visible in the muted gold of the handle. It's a beautiful thing…a fact I've forgotten during my single-minded assaults on the soil.
Spring has not yet sprung, but she rustles beneath leafy carpets: crocus buds burst and jonquils jostle. And here I stand by our new statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, listening to the breezes rattle the remaining winter leaves and watching wayward waifs bicycle by.
"Whatcha doin'?" asks the little girl from next door. Isabella is about eight. She has Talia, age 3, in tow.
"Planting roses," say I.
"That's the biggest hole I've ever seen!!" Isabella says. "Why is it so big?!" Talia looks wide-eyed at the hole; it has clearly taken on added import with Isabella's proclamation.
"It has to be big so that I can fit the rosebush in it." I point to the peat pot on the ground beside me.
"Can we help?" Isabella asks. She reaches for the axe I've been using to chop up the tree roots.
"Not with that," I say, "That axe is pretty sharp. But, maybe you can help me water the roses once they're planted, OK? Maybe a little later…."
"OK! I'm good at watering!" says Isabella.
The girls wander off. Talia looks back wistfully at the axe.
I return to hacking tree roots. "This would be a great penance for someone", I think. I wonder how many tree roots would take the place of a single Hail Mary in the economy of Elysium? Or would it be the other way 'round? Would a single tree root be the purgatorial peer of divers devout prayers?
I know why I'm thinking this way. Lent approacheth. Ruminations will arrest and musings manacle me during the whole of the coming desert season. I'll ponder angels on pinheads and the significance of sacramentals throughout these forty days, trying to make sense of a deliberately-chosen dearth.
Rather like the process of producing a painting, Lent always presents itself to me as a journey. It has settled start and stop times, and you know that you'll likely, God willing, get to "the other side". But the passage is the thing…the actual movement of the self through a sieve of solitude, even if that solitude is sacramental and cerebral rather than spatial.
This is what it means to be in the desert.
When I work on a painting, I leave a scattering of studies and sketches in my wake. They are like breadcrumbs strewn on a forest floor; like the thread given Theseus by Ariadne to help him escape the labyrinth. The sketches, and even the paintings that result, are what I have to show for all of the toil, all of the trouble that I take.
But what will mark my passage through Lent? And what is the point of it all, really?
I return to the tree roots. Large root links like bratwurst pile up beside the hole. Finally, I get past the worst and the hole becomes deep enough for the rosebush. I press the plant's root ball firmly into fragrant loam. I wipe the sweat away from my eyes and notice that the thin sunlight is now warm on my face. Birds are singing everywhere…robins roar and cardinals croon. They've been kicking up a real fuss for the last two weeks…ever since the last freeze, I guess. But I'm just now really noticing….
"Maybe things are getting better," I think. "Maybe the worst of winter is finally
past." I rake black earth around the root ball and sit down to catch my breath.
This rosebush may be blooming by the time my Lenten journey is over, but only if it gets the care it needs, and only if I watch it and protect it from the slugs and the spring thunderstorms. And I guess that's as close to understanding what Lent is all about as I'll ever get; it's got something to do with protecting what is precious inside of us so that it, too, can blossom.
The two girls return. "Is it time to water the roses yet?" asks Isabella.
"Yes, I think it is," I say, "High time."

Pitchers ===============
URGENT! Despite the fact that we are already in February, I have had a number of friends ask whether I would put together a fantasy-themed calendar for 2011(!). As a result, I'm teaming with the organizers of this year's "A Long Expected Party II" (http://alep2.us/) in Kentucky, and we are considering producing a calendar that should be available by the end of February. The calendar would feature my artwork plus will highlight the upcoming ALEP2 gathering.
However, we can only do this if there is enough interest. Please contact me if you would like your name added to the list to purchase a copy; the price should be around $17, plus shipping, and can be shipped worldwide. If we find that there is enough interest, we will proceed with all due haste so that you can enjoy the calendar for the remaining 10 months of the year.
Please let us hear from you!
Ponderings ==============
"He came to bring us joy." The thought bounds unbidden into my brain on this chilly February morning.
A roseate dawn glimmers above the Emory campus as I hike the hill to the library. Bare trees stand silent in the space between dusk and dawn, and all is hushed: there is no birdsong, even. Yet, there is a bubbling beneath the surface…a murmuring and anticipation that I cannot entirely account for.
This is what revelation must feel like. Not a cataclysm, but a kiss…a secret smooch upon our foreheads to remind us that we are, each of us, called to love deeply and live devoutly.
Last week the sun was shining in a cerulean sky, and in glorious January warmth I pruned the grapevines and the branches of our enormous fig tree. I cannot recall having ever done so before without girding myself in gloves and heavy coat, yet here I was in shirtsleeves, clipping tangled tendrils, in wonder at such warm and waxing days.
And the brambles reminded me of a friend I have who is snarled in a strange and distant land. Anger and indignation towards leaders of his church drove him away, and like a citizen of C.S. Lewis' "grey town", he shuns those with whom he disagrees, clinging to ever more murky notions about what it means to be a "real Catholic". I've seen similar strangeness in friends and family who have fled over the years to increasingly infinitesimal faith communities, or who ultimately hem themselves in to a personal "spiritual" community of one, with no reference to anyone other than themselves, nor to anything other than their personal peeves and preferences.
This is truly hell. This is Mordor: a luxurious Mordor that is paved with our own prejudices, one that has been papered over in pretty pictures all our own, but Mordor nonetheless.
G.K. Chesterton speaks eloquently about the methodology of such madness in his book "Orthodoxy". Therein he describes an inmate of an asylum who seems rational, but whose obsessions describe a Lilliputian loop from which he cannot escape. Such is, I fear, the landscape inhabited by my friend, who seems convinced that the "real church" is known only to an elect few, and that anyone who does not believe as he does is a member, instead, of a "church of darkness".
But even those of us who are not lost in a spiritual "grey town" can mire in our own impish ideologies. We grind through days, listening only to those who agree with us, anticipating only the next weekend or the next shopping spree. We trudge and trample dim-lit paths past those we meet in streets and hallways, our myopic gaze downward cast…going `round and `round again in a niggardly orbit of our own making.
But every now and then we are sent some small scent…some fresh fragrance wafting in from the wider world without, and we are, as C.S. Lewis would say, "surprised by joy." The timeless tramping within our personal prison cell is interrupted, and we shake sleep from eyes, wondering whatever came over us. How could we ever forget the enchantment of this earth and the monumental mirth of its Creator?
Regarding the Maniac, Chesterton tells us that the secret realization that can rout us out of our seemingly rational ruts is that none of our pet peeves is really as important as we assume. If we could simply see our own smallness in the enormity, glory, and wonder of God's world, ironically, we could break out of this "tiny and tawdry theatre" in which our own little plot is always being played, and we would find ourselves under a freer sky. We could look up, as Sam Gamgee did, and descry the stars shining brightly above the fumes of our own meager Mordor, and realize that there is goodness, and hope, and beauty outside of our own orbit, even if we sometimes forget it.
We are all of us pruners of the world around us. But, we are also the vines that God must shear, lest the wild growth of our own ego swells and entangles our lives, blotting out the sun. "He came to bring us joy," and the joy that He brings us is the joy of the musical instrument being well played, the joy of the brush in the hands of the Master, the joy of the poem being chanted aloud in dulcet tones.
Embrace that joy! Embrace the hand that prunes you and calls you away from yourself! Shake off the heavy weight of your own habits and hauntings, and breathe in the morning air! For the One that made you is also the one who can unlock all prison doors…and finally set you free!

Pitchers ==============
I have posted three new painting images on my website. These are "Hobbiton", "Chetwood", and "The Messenger". The first two are Tolkien-inspired works, while the third is the first time I've attempted to render an interpretation of the Annunciation in many years.

As always, these and all of the works in my online galleries are available as signed and numbered limited-edition Giclee prints.
Do let me know how these new images strike you!
Ponderings ==============
I'm spending New Year's Eve at the Troll fells; it seems a proper place for pondering the demise of a decade. Since time slips strangely through sub-created realms, a late May sun shines yet upon husky hills betwixt sodden spring squalls, while back home all is wasting winter. I find a footpath, made I know not by whom, and follow it to a rock overhung with underbrush. And just past these, I spy a heavy stone door….
I've been stricken with a cold, contracted while walking the streets of Seffner at Christmastide. I hoped the warmth of weather and kin would protect me from winter's wrath, but it was not to be. On New Year's Eve, after I return from my wanderings, I am too tired to do aught but amble early to bed. Explosions erupt at midnight...a seraphic summons. I wake in wonder to gaze past frosty panes at revelers firing rockets, Roman candles, and bouquets of electric bees: all meant to welcome in a new year that we pray will prove an improvement over the one just passed.
It was a tough year. We lost my sister, Lisa, and my Uncle John. Cousin Chuck lost his dad. So many others were washed away in time's grim tide. Anger swept inept and out-of-touch officials from office on the chance that some change, any change, might rekindle a hope that is more than just a stale demagogic slogan. Terrorism triumphed, while wars that seem pointless persisted….
And yet, it oft seems that in dark times we discover we are made of tougher stuff than ever we supposed. Like Halflings, our love of food, friends, and frivolity belies an endurance that emerges in emergencies, that blossoms in the blackest night.
The tiniest trifles are the cherished charms we hoard against such tough times: hearty hugs from fresh faced imps; Lorraine's face aglow as her new cuckoo clock clucks; fireballs in the black on New Year's Eve; springtime sword fights with wandering waifs; the froth and fume of muscadines bubbling in the basement; long walks under live oaks in the gloaming; the glint of a crucifix in candlelight. These and so many more moments go to make up a year, to make up a decade, to make up a lifetime. Only such gifts of grace endure....
Back at the Troll fells, I set up my easel and try to set the scene in oils. At once, this place is wild yet wondrous, forbidding yet fecund. Who or what might return to this cave while I my pigments ply? Or is this nook still filled, harboring a someone not yet roused from saturnine sleep? In this New Year; anything might be hidden here: caterpillars cocooning...or gold glistening...or the broken body of a spurned Savior....
In sub-created realms, as in real ones, we may not know what is hidden beneath each stone, but we can usually choose how we will react to what we find there. Might there be treasures or trolls? Should we be heartened or horrified? Will we gird our swords or beat them into plough shares?
This ending, as all endings save the last and most triumphant one, is still up for grabs. I will wait here for it to come, marking this moment in pigment, until either the rock is rolled away, or I hear that gentle knocking at the door of my own heart.
Idhrin-eden 'elir (Happy New Year!)
