In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

“The world exists in duality with
Room enough to have everything,
Mutuality in a multiverse”

An interesting point in the movie/book. He uses mechanics to build their stronghold, even to remake elves into awful creatures of orcs. In a large sense, the movie is very much about the natural, those at peace with nature,verses those who try to control and mechanism it. Great little piece.

Amanda, thank you! The film does a good job in showing the peril of the machine way, while celebrating what is organic. It’s the attitude of Saruman versus that of the hobbits. The third novel in the trilogy shows this especially through what happens near the end back in Hobbiton. I’d still like to hope there’s room for all. Have a great weekend!

I much liked the actor Christopher Nolan as Saruman. He did such an excellent job. I saw him on a couple movies after, and couldn’t help picturing him as the evil wizard. But often, I realized, the actor played bad guys. Sad he’s passed on but I was happy he was able to show up in the last film (or second last?) of the Hobbit series. There he’s a defender but of course you don’t trust him.
