February 30, 3019[1]

I dreamed of the one from Gondor last night.  I do not remember much of the dream though I do remember that he wrapped his arms around me and said:

"Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will.  And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden.  All things will grow there, if the White Lady comes."[2]

I then awoke.

When I awake, I can never remember his face.  I only remember he has a very Gondorian look to him.  If he is real, if he comes, how am I to recognize him if I do not know his face?

Perhaps he may be the one to restore Gondor.  Perhaps he will arrive and help us to overcome the evil that everyday grows stronger in our land.

Perhaps my mind dreams too much.  Longing for what it cannot have.  The chances of anything as wonderful as I dream happening are very unlikely.  Evil is spreading and no one seems to know what to do.
