I had a lecture planned but I realized it felt rather redundant. We have huge list of lectures and while each topic is interesting, I feel it lacks the feedback aspect that's so important in our education. To quote one of my favourite books . . .

"The best thing about being sad is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you"

So, I put the question to the Fleet. What would you like to learn and how can we help each other? I hold classes on the Iskaulit for training of powers, but I'd be happy to broaden my classes for other subjects and needs.

All you need to do is ask.

Oh! You should speak to my cousin Finrod. My Arafinwean cousins are much better at mind-sppech than I. It might make things a bit easier, if you both had someone else who could touch that way.

[axiomed]

I — I didn't know there were others here.

[bythewaves]

My folk can all do so - some, better than others. But the Arafinwean side of the family has great skill in that area.

[axiomed]

[ It's still strange to digest. ]

My skill is fairly . . . strong.

[bythewaves]

I wonder how it translates across. [ Maglor muses ] Finrod's younger sister Galadriel is the strongest of any I know, but I do not know how she would compare to you. But it might be a comfort, I think. To both of you.

[axiomed]

I'm the strongest I know of.

I hated that about myself.

[bythewaves]

It must have been lonely. I am sorry...

[axiomed]

It was lonely. But I've learned to handle it.

Thank you.

[bythewaves]

[ It can be lonely, Maglor knows, to live in a world where you are the only one who can hear ]

I am only glad that you might have some consolation here.

[axiomed]

There are consolations everywhere. You just need to know where to find them.

[bythewaves]

This is true. But it makes it no easier, eh? When you hear what others do not.

[axiomed]

I don't think it was ever meant to be easy.

[bythewaves]

Maybe - but I hope there is some comfort, also.

[axiomed]

There always is.

End here?

[bythewaves]

May it always be so.
