The year’s rhythms pulse.

Land of Gifts

Ithilien, F.A. 82

Throughout the spring, Gondor mourns its Steward and Ithilien mourns its Prince. In the summer, the Prince goes home, friend and father laid to rest.

Here healing is already underway. The year’s rhythms pulse. The groves and orchards swell. The harvest will be generous: better than the last year’s, less so than the year before. In the villages, men and women work and play, live and love. At Midsummer they will dance.

His father and his mother made this from ashes. Now the children hold the trust for a while: to tend and to maintain, and – in time – to deliver.

I've been thinking about my response to it wrt enjoying the renewal of Communicator's commentary, but I never get my head around putting my thoughts into words. I do like that icon of yours, by the way (if I haven't said so before).

I'm loving those posts, although I don't have anything to contribute - I've always found Burnt Norton beautiful but impenetrable.

Glad you like the icon: I wish the text was a bit nicer, but it was the best I could manage.

Edited to include final word of my sentence...

Me too, I love it. My friend [livejournal.com profile] communicator is doing a reread of Burnt Norton at the moment, which I bet you'd enjoy. Collected links here.

This is now the third drabble of yours that makes me cry - I blame you for the fact that I can't even find my kleenex right now. ;)
