“If I take one more step, it will be the farthest away from home I’ve ever been.” – Samwise Gamgee
Fortunately today, we don’t have to cross large bodies of land to destroy a magic ring. “The farthest from home I’ve ever been” can have lots of meaning today.
The one that interests me though is the edge of uncertainty. Home can be our comfort zone. Yet, we create these invisible boundaries for ourselves thinking we can’t cross them because that is unknown territory.
There are many lessons to learn from Tolkien’s world–stepping into the unknown is the start of an adventure.
