| Oh this is good! Go Elanor! My daughter calles herself Elenor! I now see why! This is so good! purrlin :) (the wisdom of children sees more than we do!) Author Reply: Oh yes, how often the wisdom of children sees clearly when everything seems murky to us. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Blessings, Eruanna | |

| Yes, his light was beautiful to know; and it took Rosie's child to see it there, I suppose. Love this. Author Reply: Thank you! In Tolkien's Epilogue, there's a wonderful simplicity in Elanor, and a tendency to make brilliant observations that really just blow Sam away. Since young children are often both strangely wise and incredibly blunt, I think she must have developed this habit of startling her father with profound insights from a rather young age. ;) Here it's her innocence that really comes into play, though. Sam and Rose, for all their truly deep wisdom, borne of experience, are in this case just simply too grown up. To them, who knew Frodo before the Quest, his missing finger can only seem a wound and a diminishment of a once-whole hand. But Elanor has no pre-existing ideas, so she's open to seeing what's really there, which is light. Grains of sand forged in fire may seem destroyed, but when they emerge, they have become clear and brilliant glass. Wow, that was a long reply. ;) Thank you again for such a kind review: I'm very glad you enjoyed this! Blessings, Eruanna | |
