"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." -The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
I am intrigued by the Road. It implies travel and adventure. You are going somewhere. You will be meeting new people and experiencing new things. You can walk on the Road or drive on the Road. The Road also leads somewhere, to something. And because it leads, I must follow. I have the compulsion to follow it. But even if there was no Road, I would probably still go, still move, and make my own Road. Am I just restless?
