A Dangerous Business

"It's a dangerous business, 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." 

~Bilbo Baggins

A dangerous business, going out your door. Indeed it is. You might look up and suddenly find yourself down a path you've never traveled, a passageway only dreamed about, a corridor not yet discovered. You might pause. Step back. Should you go on? Perhaps it would be more comfortable to turn around and go back. Safer, yes, that would be good. 

But you don't turn around. Instead, you look down and put one foot forward, then another. And before you know it, you are walking forward, still one step at a time, but forward nonetheless. This is the moment, the one where you are swept down the road, the moment your life charts a new course. You will never be the same. You can never go back to that exact spot at that exact time and turn back around. But would you even want to? 

And so it begins...Oxford, England!
