I first came across the word moot when reading Lord of the Rings. An entmoot – if there should be anyone that doesn’t know – is a meeting of the ents, the shepherds of the forest, where they debate their important issues. I happen to live next to a forest which is called the Exotic Forest because some farsighted Earl in the mid 19th century started to plant trees from all over the world on a large scale.
Occasionally, I meet a tree which might have been an ent and grown silent only in recent years.
Isn’t that Treebark looking down on me?
A relative of Quickbeam, possibly.
This looks like a young enting to me.
I know that the ents have lost the entwives but maybe I have spotted one recently.
And this screaming, disrespectful ent looks like he is disrupting the entire moot.

This is lovely and very exciting. I knew the entwives must be close by after all!

I’m glad you like them and Lord of the Rings is definitely a book that can be read more than once (or twice, or …)

If one only had the time … In my first year at Drama School we had to build a mask for a phantastic play. I chose to make an Ent. I guess Lord of the Rings wasn’t that popular yet and my English accent left something to be desired. Everytime I told people that I was making an Ent I got incredulous looks and the statement: “That doesn’t look like an ant!!”
