sound advice

“could a depressed person tell you how old cirdan the shipwright was?”

adjacent to this is (my) sense of time moving more slowly in middle-earth — there’s no narrative of history as progress, not even a xtian messianic narrative, simply equilibrium or decline, just years one after another — the gift of men feels much like liberation from the wheel of samsara
