Quote Wednesday -- Tolkien
"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." -- JRR Tolkien
I love the image of doors... infinite possibilities existing just on the other side. I want a hallway of doors, each with their own destination. I want a red door, a blue door, a purple door, a polka-dotted door, a peeling wooden door, a steel door, a rainbow door, a painted mural door, a heavy round door, all different doors. I want to be able to try different doors, different paths, different worlds, and if I don't like them, exit back out the door and try another. I love that scene in Alice in Wonderland where Alice opens the tiny door and spies a whole other world. I want to be like Alice and shrink down to size to fit through the tiny door and experience a whole new world. I want to throw caution to the wind and venture out. I want to be like Bilbo and Frodo and journey on an epic quest. I want to experience the "new", the "old", the "never even imagined." I want to take over the wheel and steer the course. I want to be swept off. I want to live.
