There is a closed door but behind the door is the most remarkable sound. The door is locked but the sound attracts. Will you find a way through the door? Or will you walk past it wondering what might have been? Let us linger by the door and look through the peephole and let us find a way into the room or perhaps into a labyrinth of rooms. For without curiosity, we are stranded in a barren landscape but with curiosity, the world’s a carnival of adventures, adventures waiting to happen.
“We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can’t think what anybody sees in them,” said our Mr. Baggins…
“That’s right,” said Gandalf. “Let’s have no more argument. I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself.”
Let us find a lot more in ourselves and let us find a good deal more than any of us have ever imagined.
