Arethilion has convinced me to take a trip after my intended vacation this week. He thinks that visiting new places will give me some inspiration for new works. I can't say I disagree, seeing as what I found in Valmar visiting those (very strange) Vanyar. I think he plays on my particular drive to be better than I am, because I usually never settle. He's gotten me out of several ruts, and for that I am ever grateful to him. He asks when it will be that I forge rings again, but I am uncertain. The subject is still a sore one, even if my most precious creations were protected and even well loved with their current bearers. I will not touch the powers again though, no matter how much Arethilion prompts me to.
I'm lately too joyous to care, thought, and I would spend all my time making things of beauty for Artanis. She still wears the hair pins I made her, I notice. She looks as though Elbereth herself had come and wove small stars into her hair. I would that I were better at charcoal drawing or oil paints, I would sketch her beauty into paper or canvas for all of Aman to admire.
I should be preparing for my trip, and I will get to it presently...but for the moment I am distracted with star strewn gold, framing the beauty of the Ages.
