Pippin Speaks

I wonder, does every traveler, on the edge of the journey, hesitate, one foot poised to move forward, and glance backwards, one more time?
My ride to the airport awaits in the driveway.
It's time to start the adventure. A little nervous, a little excited, a little sad yet filled with anticipation.....

I'll leave you with the words of Peregrin "Pippen" Took, from The Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring....


Home is behind
The world ahead.
And there are many paths to tread.
Through shadow,
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow
Cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall...fade.
