Arwen Undomiel: The Choice of Love

The March 29, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
If you could be any fictional character in the world, who would you choose to be? Why?

What fictional character would I chose to be? I would chose to be Arwen Undomiel for several reasons. First, Arwen is a strong woman, not like the strong women author's envision today, she was a strong woman because she made the hard choice. Knowing that her choice to love and marry Aragon would make her a mortal woman, she still chose to marry him. Of her own free will, she chose to give up her elven immortality for love and this is the sign of a strong woman.

If I could be a fictional character,
I would be Arwen Undomiel,
Arwen Evenstar;
fair elven maid
she made the choice of love
and died a mortal woman.

Thought of the Day: “The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

My Thoughts on Choice

It is choice,
free will,
that sets human beings apart
from all other animals
and gives the human spirit
immortality.

Each day
we must chose between
acts of love and faith
or fear and doubt;
it is the choice of love
that gives hope,
faith,
and eternal life
to the human soul.
