| You know, it strikes me that it must have taken a great deal of faith to even begin the Great Journey. To get on a ship, a frail vessel of wood and hope, and trust it to hold you, your family and your people to take you into the great unknown, out into seas you can only imagine at the vastness of.... That's faith. Lovely yet again. Author Reply: The Silmarillion says that Tol Eressea was anchored, at the Teleri's request, within sight of the Pelori mountains, and that the light of the Two Trees streamed through the Calacirya and lit the western side of the isle. So the distance to travel wasn't anything like the distance they'd journeyed on the isle itself across the Sea, but it still would be daunting. I am finding that I really like being in Olwe's head. I hope he keeps telling more about the key events of his life as I work my way through each day's drabble/ficlet. Thank you for reviewing, I really appreciate hearing how my story affected a reader. :) | |

| More Olwe! This reminds me a lot of the various Biblical tests of faith, where God (in this case, Ulmo) tells someone to do something and they just have to trust that it works, even though they don't yet know how. So very Silm-like. Author Reply: Celeritas, thank you for your kind remarks. I hate to admit that the Noah parallels hadn't even occurred to me, and this drabble drifted into my mind while I was listening to the fast and testimony meeting at church today! | |
