The Gardener and the Healer

The romance of this show is between the gardener and the healer that's just tolkin through and through you know i love it because if you then zoom forward ahead to the end like what are the things that frodo is talking about and thinking about in order to reveal at the end that he has lost entirely that sense of self in a home he can't remember the feel of grass. That just reinforces how central that natural world is to what home and happiness means for these characters. The popularity of gardens post war war one between the wars i have to think has to be related somehow to going off and fighting and seeing the earth dug up into these ugly trenches where there's just like nothing
