This Road

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.
 
– J.R.R. Tolkien

Ahh. Where else am I gonna go? Along some well-worn path, wide enough for millions of people, yet deadly enough to lead them wrong? Or along a forsaken, hidden way, trod by the few who are both the adventurous and the lovely; the bold and the strong; the believing and the Godly. This is the true way to Glory. Not the easy way, but the unsure way. Give yourself a pat on the back if you’re a trail-blazer…you’ve chosen the hardest road. Good for you.
