Restoration & Rebuilding Drabbles by Grundy

Physician... (Elrond, Celeborn)

Prompt: Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us. - Robin Wall Kimmerer

“You should take it easy, Elrond,” Celeborn said tiredly. “What do you expect me to say to Celebrían and Galadriel if you work yourself to death? I know you have had the ‘peredhil can fade too’ conversation before, even if it wasn’t me you had it with.”

Not to mention Melian…

“I am not working myself to death,” Elrond said softly. “I am trying to work myself to health.”

Celeborn sighed and tried to follow the logic.

“Healing the land is healing me,” the boy continued.

“Lad, you can’t heal the entire Dagorlad,” Celeborn sighed. “Even you have your limits.”
