Leaving The Shire

“Sorry! I don’t want any adventures, thank you. Not Today. Good morning! But please come to tea – any time you like! Why not tomorrow? Good bye!” –The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

“Go back?” he thought. “No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!” So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.” –The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien

Making art isn’t for everyone.  It’s scary. Like entering a dark and deep forest late at night.

But if you are that person?…well, sometimes, you just gotta do it anyway.

Bilbo (and later Frodo) didn’t want to leave the Shire either…But he did.
