But if you don't leave it, you'll miss a lot of truly marvelous things. I shall be leaving it today and venturing forth into the wilder part of the world for but a short time (three weeks). I shall see you all upon my return with plenty of photos to post.
To keep you company, here's a couple of Tolkin quotes I keep in my journal:
Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.
“The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.”
