Everything I needed to know, I learned from The Hobbit
[In reply to]

Can't Post

I was 18 when I first pushed open the gate at Bag End. I explored all the new paths I found in the Shire and delighted at all of the inhabitants and wonderful new things I experienced. I followed Bilbo to Rivendell and stood with him on the doorstep of Smaug’s lair inside The Lonely Mountain. As I stood on the brink of the Battle of the Five Armies with the burglar, I understood how one small person can truly change the course of one world. Now I am 50 and I still visit The Shire on a yearly basis. Just as some people make a yearly pilgrimage to the beach, I go to The Shire to visit old friends. We wander all of the old paths and share some Longbottom leaf. We take tea together at the Green Dragon and talk about how everything I needed to know about life, I learned from the Hobbit. And every year as I end my visit and close the gate to Bag End, I look forward to the next time my feet are set upon the Road that goes ever on toward the Shire.
