THE EAGLES ARE COMING / AT THE END OF ALL THINGS (1978) Acrylic - 28” x 27”

I suspect that watching this scene come to life in Peter Jackson’s movie adaptation of THE RETURN OF THE KING was as thrilling for me as any fan of THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

1/4

"Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you"

It can be difficult, scary, and vulnerable to let people help us. But, "Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without Sam."

Letting people help us makes them feel good. It eases everyone's burdens.

And, it is an active rejection of all we are taught we "should" be in this hyper-individualistic society we live in.

Letting people help us is punk as fuck.
