In his mind he's probably already enjoying the clear autumn evenings, the Sundays on the heath, the village church bells, afternoons and evenings with the girls, the buckwheat pancakes with bacon, the hours of aimless conversation in the bar—

Day 4 of the @tolkiengenweek is solo, work and craft. This is going to be a good prompt I think!

The art is Ecthelion by Eukanova.

This ficlet is inspired by a friend who asked me to write about Ecthelion in peacetime, drunk in his fountain taking a bath.

DS9 Station and Bajor are symbiotic. Bajor supplies DS9′s food, most of its population, and its political status as a fairly neutral, safe place. DS9 brings tourism to Bajor. It’s interesting that I thought of that first, because the value of the safety that a giant floating weapons array gives to a planet is enormous, but in peacetime the tourism seems more significant.

What are your thoughts on the USA Civilian / Peacetime Flag?

from /r/vexillology Top comment: It's recognizable. Something feels off, though.

A Sort of Balance

There are things in the world that will wound you greatly. There are things that will bring you great wrath, or will plunge you into the depths of despair. You will feel envious or prideful. You will be afflicted by sloth or gluttony. Agony and horror. The world is not a kind place. There is much cruelty and wickedness. You will suffer.

However...imagine a world where none of those things existed. Things always went as well as they possibly could. No one loses. No one is in pain. No one ever feels bad or horrible. No one is ever jealous of anyone else. No one is angry. No one will feel joy. No one will feel wonder. No one will know what it is to experience laughter again for the first time after a long period of sorrow. Or what it means to have peace when there was never any war to show how precious their peacetime is. Or to lose a loved one and to one day realize that you no longer sorrow for them, for you are left only with your love in the end.

To erase all the ills of the world would also erase all the joys. For one can best see the light by standing within the shadows.
