This is most beautiful and glad to read it again in here. Love it so much!

Author Reply: Thank you so! I believe that from time to time the Powers were delighted to give Frodo the comfort of good will associated with his old life.

Ooh, I love this! Such great use of the way Tolkien portrays water as carrying messages in his mythology. Poignant but lovely image of Frodo too. Thanks!

Author Reply: Thank you. With patrons such as Osse and Uinen, Frodo should always get at least some word of those he left behind, at least. And I love Tolkien's intimation that water of all elements most clearly holds echoes of the Music of Creation within it.

Wow, this is beautiful! And I really like the quote from Leonard Bernstein.

Author Reply: Oh, thank you so. And for the quote, thank the moderators of the B2MEM in 2009. I thought it very apt, also.

Always a comfort to visit in dreams where we can no longer in the waking world. Great to have him travel once more in beloved lands. :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: He does need reassurance now and then that his own sacrifices were well made, after all! Thanks so, Antane!
