““Tolkien captures the mood we will have when we at last awaken to that day, when Sam wakes up after completing his quest, exclaiming: “At last he gasped: ‘Gandalf? I thought you were dead! But then I thought I was dead myself. Is everything sad going to come untrue? What’s happened to the world?”3 I can quite imagine a lot of crying going on, on the part of all of us, as we realize that all we were able to dream of was but just a shadow of the reality of heaven.””
