It's a Dangerous Business Going out your Front Door

“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.”

Some people never go out their front doors, but some of us have adventure written in our blood. Hesitant or not we are destined to open the front door and walk down the garden path into the larger world beyond.

Like Bilbo and Frodo there is a time of hesitancy at the beginning, of a slow willingness to leave the comfortable place of security in our own Shire, but in the end the open doors beckons, we pack our knapsacks, pick up our walking sticks, and walk out the door. In stepping down the path there is an eagerness, a building exhilaration, as we run with Frodo down the lane past the Great Mill and over the Water.
