By the way, Tolkien did state that Middle Earth was our world, but at an imaginary time in the past.
I actually always believed that the narrator who was saying "...our time..." was another person, maybe a hobbit or a human, retelling the old stories, not Tolkien, himself.

And who knows: maybe there is a Middle Earth in a Parallel Universe. And maybe a visitor from there (an Elf or Human or Hobbit or Dwarf or Orc (quite possible these days, from some of the people I've heard about) or Balrog...) somehow stumbled into this universe and told Tolkien for some reason, and...and...I'm rambling now, aren't I?

Well, maybe Tolkien took artistic lisence, since he is such an amazing writer, and changed some of the story and kept the basic idea the same and wove a story of such meaning and feeling that we are writing posts about it today.

Oh: and I plan that when this soul takes its final, immortal form, that it will be an Elf of Middle Earth (according to my friend, who reads palms, my lines say that I am not human, but that I am a nymph, or an elf, or something...I'm going to repay her reading by doing a Tarot Reading for her when I get my cards as a present...as they always must be).
