On this day in 1971, J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved wife, Edith Tolkien, passed away. She was the inspiration for Lúthien in the tale of Beren and Lúthien. 🙏

Vandaag in de buitenlandse pers: Een skydiver en astrofotograaf hebben samen een kunstwerk gemaakt waarin ze de val van Icarus uitbeelden, de man uit de Griekse mythe die te dicht bij de zon vloog. https://www.360magazine.nl/skydiver-en-astrofotograaf-beelden-samen-de-val-van-icarus-uit/
Skydiver en astrofotograaf beelden samen de val van Icarus uit
Hun werk The Fall of Icarus toont het kolkende, vurige oppervlak van de zon met daarop het omgekeerde silhouet van iemand die van de zon af lijkt te vallen.

A lot of my US friends are mentioning family splits because of #politics (understandable!)
During American Civil War, a lot of families were split by pro/anti-slavery
Did they reconcile or permanently estranged? Would be interested to know what the diaries & people's family #history say📜

This was the last of the three prayers spoken by the King or Queen of Númenor at the end of autumn as a ceremony of thanksgiving to the God of Arda.
It means: Thanksgiving to Eru.

When Faramir, Éowyn, & Merry need help from the Houses of Healing, there is no charge for the service. Aragorn and the healers healed because it's the right thing to do when anyone is sick or hurt, and because the place of healers in Gondor was respected & supported. This is how this should work.
