The show is over. It was wonderful and Violet was clearly the heart and star of the show. All that anxiety has blown away but we are now in the Vale of Tears after the play. I'm hoping now that we can get on track for school with more time and less stress.

Yesterday, I went out to Kendrick. Funny how it calls me sometimes. It was wonderful, but felt like a long walk. I've cut down on my walking since Blitz and it's showing. Keeping up with yoga is great but I need to do 2 mile walks a few times a week. I did one this morning too, and old route by Lawrence, Longwood Mall and the beech trees, then down to the river and back. The Silmarillion is more interesting at this point, with the tale of Turin. It's interesting that the Elves behave just as badly as humans. I was struck by the death of Beleg, whom Turin kills after being tortured by Orcs, when he has come to save him. One must imagine Tolkien would have seen soldiers wake up fearful and fighting in the war. I almost wonder if there is a specific incident. I remember stories, from maybe my stepfather, about being wakened from bed after his service and trying to strangle his mother. Anyway, I very compelling tale. I wonder why the Rings of Power show left all of this out. Interesting to learn that the dwarves were there before the Elves.

Yesterday I did extra yoga for my hips and baked cookies. We had Thai food and watched the end of the Sound of Music and Tick, Tick, Boom. DH and I watched Reservoir Dogs. It's hard to watch things together now. No one gets to watch what they want. We are all made miserable by trying to do it together. Sigh.

Peaceful morning. Very November in it's grayness. I walked to the Muddy, listening to the Silmarillion. The first story was about the creation of the world. Many layers of creation, and a Loki.

"It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen." JRRT
