| It is hard to forgive and to mean it, I know from personal experience. I hope it comes to Olorin soon, however. Author Reply: I think that this must be one of the most universal human experiences, the difficulty in finding forgiveness in one's heart -- and Olorin's just spent quite a while being human. How "soon" he finds it... well, that depends on how one defines the word, doesn't it?;) Thanks for the review! | |

| They say that if foregiveness isn't easy, it's not true forgiveness, which seems to be happening here. Of course, we're only getting one side of things here, Frodo's understanding of Olorin's words, but I wonder at the fact that the estrangement goes both ways: Manwe is also not communicating with Olorin. Perhaps he is giving him time to work things out for himself, but I would thing he would also be trying to make further amends. Foregiveness need not always be tied to repentance on the part of the person who needs the foregiveness, but it does make it easier. Perhaps Olorin can't forgive, because he is still afraid, deep down, of being betrayed in the same way again? Anyway, I love your descriptions of the work in the garden and of the homey tasks interspersed with the weighty conversation. It lightens the scene and reminds me of the humble natures of these beloved characters. Author Reply: I'm glad you're enjoying so far, FF (because I am desperately hoping that this will break the block that set in when my Dad died and let me finish this! | |
