Not idly do the leaves of Lothlórien fall
I stepped away from my desk for a moment and when I came back, something caught my eye on the floor right below my chair.
I picked it up. It was a Lothlórien leaf, like the one in the icon. Specifically, it was one of my Lothlórien leaf earrings--without its hook. I would have been devastated if I had lost it.
The crazy thing is, I didn't even put that pair of earrings on this morning. I'm wearing an entirely different set of earrings; I haven't worn the Lothlórien leaf earrings in several weeks.
What the heck happened? The only think I can think of is that when I went to get this morning's pair of earrrings out of my jewelry box, perhaps the hook from the leaf earrings somehow snagged on my sweater or something? I've checked my clothing, but no hook. Since I opened my jewelry box, I've walked through the house, gotten into a car and driven to work and walked through my entire office building to get to my desk. Somehow, however that earring got attached to me and then fell, it fell in a place where I spotted it right away--when I didn't even know it was missing.
I mean, what are the odds?
(And I love it that I know Lord of the Rings so well that I can pull up a quote from memory that's the perfect title to this journal post.)
