Ndidawerenga "The Hobbit" koyamba mu 1967 ngati junior ku High School. Linali buku loyamba lomwe ndinali nditawerengapo palokha. Ndinali wowerenga osauka kwambiri ndipo zinanditengera nthawi yambiri, khama, ndikudzipereka kuti ndiwerenge buku lonseli.

Kuwerengedwa kwa The Hobbit nthawi yoyamba inali nthawi yosintha moyo wanga. Ndapangidwapo ndikuwumbidwa ndi chidziwitso choyamba ndi JRR Tolkien m'njira zenizeni.

Ndinapitiliza kuwerenga Ambuye wa mphete™ ndikupita kukoleji kuyambira 1969 - 1971. Pambuyo pake ndinawerenga Amakuru ku Mugoroba™. Zaka 40 pambuyo pake, pano ndili ndi miyala yamtengo wapatali yopanga The Ruling Ring ndi zodzikongoletsera zina zololedwa mwalamulo kuchokera m'mabuku azinthu zongopeka. Pofunafuna dzina la mwana wathu woyamba wamkazi mu 1975, ndidapereka malingaliro kwa Lothlorian. Mkazi wanga amakonda mawu ndi lingaliro, koma adafupikitsa kwa Loria (loth LORIA n). Chifukwa chake ngakhale dzina la mwana wanga woyamba lidalimbikitsidwa ndi JRR Tolkien, ndipo amanyadira nalo panjira.

Kukula ndinali mwana wachilengedwe. Mu 1956, ndili ndi zaka 5, ndidapeza kristalo wanga woyamba pamalo otayira zinyalala pafupi ndi nyumba yathu. Ndinali ndisanakhalepo ndi kristalo kale.

Ndikudziwa ndendende zomwe Bilbo adamva atangoyamba kutenga Arkenstone. Ndimakonda kupeza zinthu padziko lapansi.

Mu 1970, ndinawona mnzanga akuchita ntchito ya Lapidary, kudula ndi kupukuta miyala yamtengo wapatali. Patatha ola limodzi ndinali nditangomaliza kudula ndi kupukuta miyala yanga yoyamba, tigereye.

Ndinatsegula sitolo yanga yoyamba yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamiyala yamaluwa mu 1975. bizinesi.

Monga miyala yamtengo wapatali, potengeka kwambiri ndi zolemba za JRR Tolkien, zinali zosapeweka kuti tsiku lina ndidzapanga The One Ring ™ of Power. Nthawi zonse ndakhala ndikufuna kufanana ndi mpheteyo. Mwina ndiyesapo kuyambilira kwanga mu 1975 kapena apo; zopanda pake pofuna kutsimikiza. Ndidayamba kuzichita mozama mu 1997, ndizotsatira zosakhutiritsa. Pamapeto pake ndinapanga kalembedwe kakang'ono kamene ndinkawona kuti kanali kokwanira mu 1998. Mu 1999, mpheteyo idakonzedweranso pamachitidwe oyenera omwe tikupereka pano. Ndidalumikizana ndi Tolkien Enterprises, yomwe tsopano ndi Middle-Earth Enterprises, ndipo ndidakambirana za ma licence kuti ndithe kupanga ndi kugulitsa The One Ring. Layisensiyo idatsogolera ma layisensi athu ena ndi olemba zongopeka pazaka zambiri.

Ena afunsanso chifukwa chiyani munthu angafune chinthu choyipa ngati Sauron's Ruling Ring; adapangidwa kuti apange ukapolo wa Middle Earth pansi paulamuliro wankhanza wake wankhanza. Ngakhale icho chinali cholinga chomwe Mphete yolamulira idapangidwira, ndiye osati Zotsatira zake, kapena chinthu chokhacho Mphete Imodzi imayimira. Ndikumva kuti mpheteyo ndi chizindikiro chofanana ndi cha mtanda kwa Akhristu. Mtandawo kwenikweni ndi chizindikiro cha zoyipa zazikulu kwambiri zomwe zachitika mdziko lapansi, koma m'malo mwake wakhala chizindikiro cha nsembe yayikulu kwambiri yomwe yaperekedwa kuti athetse zoipa zazikulu padziko lapansi. Ndikumva kuti Mphete Imodzi ndi chizindikiro cha kudzipereka kwa Frodo pamoyo wake kuti athetsere zoipa zazikulu padziko lapansi. Ndichizindikiro cha maubwenzi omwe adapangidwa muulendo wa Chiyanjano ndi zovuta zawo kuti athetse zoyipa.

Kodi kulimbana ndi choipa sikukutulutsa zabwino ndi zoyipitsitsa mwa tonsefe? Ndikukhulupirira kuti ngati chinthu chapakati cha The Lord of The Rings series, The Ring One imayimiranso zonse zabwino komanso zowona ku Middle Earth. Kwa ine zikuyimira njira yosavuta ya Bilbo ndikudula, kulekerera kwa Frodo, kuleza mtima, komanso kulimba mtima, nzeru ndi kudzipereka kwa Gandalf, kukongola kwa moyo wa Galadriel ndi kukoma mtima, kuleza mtima kwa Aragorn, kulimba mtima kwa Sam, kukhulupirika, kudzichepetsa, komanso zabwino za ena ambiri omwe adatenga nawo gawo pakufuna kuchita zoipa. Zimayimira kudzipereka komwe aliyense anali wofunitsitsa kuti achite zabwino kwambiri, zoyeserera zabwino za anthu ndi malingaliro. Ndi chikhalidwe chamakhalidwe abwino ngati sichizindikiro chachipembedzo. Zimatikumbutsa kuti ufulu udzagonjetsa nthawi zonse pomwe anthu abwino amakana kulekerera zoyipa, ndikuti munthu m'modzi yekha mungathe pangani kusiyana. Ndi chithumwa cha chiyembekezo ndi chikhulupiriro.

Zodzikongoletsera zanga zimawonetsa kuti ndine ndani komanso zomwe ndili. Zolemba za Tolkien zakhudza kwambiri malingaliro anga, malingaliro anga, zokonda zanga, ndi zokhumba zanga. Ndidaumbidwa ndi moyo kuti ndikhale munthu yemwe tsiku lina adzajambula The One Ring of Power.
