Elves like Celeborn must have many lost friends and family members to mourn. Sometimes living for all of time must not seem like such a blessing.

Author Reply: See, I think time is the key, yet... I have a slightly different perception, and..since your the only reviewer here...forgive me for imposing my reflections upon you... I think time and memories are natural for elves, or at least in their nature, so the longer they live, the more burdened they become, but it's a natural burden, a part of themselves, not a bitter feeling. I think they have trouble facing change, abrupt change, but they feel comforted with all those memories to hold on to, until they too become livin' memories... and depart or fade. That's what I find comforting in most of these drabbles, which came to me as a kind of emotional discharge or study of how I deal with loss and moving ahead...but I concede you that's an uncommmon point of view...

Thanks again for reading and reviewing, this is quite a personal project, but still I'm truly glad you find time for reviewing. I'll move soon into happier issues...
