(The fathers of Men meet Finrod Felagund)
The night swooped down on dark wings of cold dread
with nightmares circling the flames - the faint light
can't chase away the memories and fright
that lurk in mind and in lands that we fled.
Towards the sunset our journey led,
but within us we still carried the night
and to the past we don't turn our sight,
but don't dare to hope for future ahead.
Suddenly nightmare turned to pleasant dream
of distant land with shores from pure white sand
as waves of song carry us like clear stream
and strings of harp are touched by gentle hand.
And when dawn blushes with the first sunbeam
with hope in heart facing the west we stand.

The Heart of the Mountain - synopsis
A man knelt on the blood-soaked battlefield. He was the last one. The last of the Ar-Venui, the Swords of Death: Nothing to live for, just looking for something to die for. A sword was hanging above his head. The last rays of the dying sun were like a road to the oblivion…
And the sword did not fall.
---
I am your only faithful one:
the lover of your pains
And when fate rides a chariot
them I'm holding the reins
Listen!
A song beats in your veins
---
Once, long ago, Ar-Tenil had a wife, and a son that had to be born soon. Then the Lowlanders came to conquer the Mountains and discover the place of a great power from an old legend – The Heart of the Mountain. He never heard of that place. The chaos of fight, one moment, one decision. He saved many lives that day – but for them, his wife died. Now he is looking for the sons of the women he saved, to take them as a repayment of their debt, and train them as the new Ar-Venui. But a surprise awaits him - not all of them
And the sword did not fall.

I am the song brought with the wind Ever present, but never seen A old as hills, as deep as sea, forever young, forever free. My other account:  - the house of my Middle-earth collection |
Our theme for November and December is Curiosity.
Curiosity is primarily defined as a strong desire to know or learn something. It is a characteristic we see in the youngest of children and is a concept we carry with us our entire lives.
Curiosity is a keen interest, a spirit of inquiry or inquisitiveness. It can be a child's first exploration of the world around them, a teenager's inquiry into affairs they are not meant to privy to quite yet, a traveler's interest in a new location or culture.
Curiosity can be a benign attribute, evoking encouragement or amusement in those it is directed towards.
But curiosity can also have a more sinister side, when unbridled inquisitiveness becomes intrusive or delves too deeply into secrets or situations better left alone. Sometimes our curiosity gets the better of us and we end up discovering something we were not meant to know. Or finding ourselves in awkward situations of having overstepped boundaries or betraying a trust. Curiosity can result in finding oneself in unsavory circumstances.There is yet another permutation of curiosity—defined as a strange or unusual object or fact.
Will your story invoke the unquenchable curiosity of a young hobbit? Or a Wood Elf's yearning for more understanding of the greater world? Are secrets uncovered by a solitary Dwarf that would have been better left alone?
Does your story take a character along a line of questioning that benefits them or leads to misunderstandings?
Did the residents of Hobbiton think Bilbo's mementos from his travels were mere curiosities of no consequence?
Whatever you decide to present - curiosity as a pursuit of knowledge, or as a prying irritation or even as an unexpected object or realization - please show some curiosity and review our rules for submission.
The deadline for this challenge is December 31.Send your entries to teitho.contest@gmail.com. The contest is anonymous and the entry can't be posted publicaly until the results of the challenge are announced. Please mind our rules when submitting your entries for the contest.
Happy writing and drawing!

Hello Eva,
Did you finish your PhD in botanics?
What is your field of research now?
What is your field of research now?
You were mentioning this in a comment under my picture in 2013:
Can you suggest good books about plant intelligence to me?
I am getting more absorbed by plants every year.
Greetings
Jan
PS: What do you think about Stefano Mancuso? I was wondering if I should read his books, but some people wrote that he lacks evidence and is too much into "esoterics".
Hello, I totally forgot about that photo 
I already finished the PhD, and I still continue to study the ageing of trees, although not too intensely right now because I have a little daughter and only work part-time. Coincidentally, I have just read a very good book on this topic - What a Plant Knows by Daniel Chamovitz (just make sure to get the updated version from 2017). His course is also available online through Coursera. I haven't read Mancuso's book yet, but there was nothing too "esoteric" in his TED talk, one just needs to be careful to not anthropomorphize the plants too much and make paralelles with human emotions, as it's a completely different form of existence, conscious in its own way.

P.S.The seeds on the other photo are from Epilobium, but I'm not sure of the leaves are the same plant.
