Your thread struck a cord as I just finished rereading a book on greek mythology. Many of the stories provide 'explanations' of why we observe the world as we do. Reading your thread, I now am stuck wondering just how Tolkien explains the current condition of the moon.

In another thread, I wondered how elves, returning across the Straight Road to our current time/space, would think about the moon as, well, we've been there, done that and left a flag - and we're going back.


P.S. Congrats on your ascension; it's the climbing, not the peak, that counts.
