The Road Goes Every On and On. . .

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.

~J. R. R. Tolkien, The Road Goes Ever On and On

My life feels like this song right now.

My first semester in college is done.

I now have seven left to go.

After that, I do not know.

It's times like these when I sit back and stare in amazement at everything before me and behind.

Who am I, Lord?

Who am I that You have shown me the next path to take for now?

Who am I that You have directed me this far?

Who am I, Lord?

Who am I?

All that I know, is that I'm a creation of the Creature, and must follow what He tells me to do.

For now, I'm to follow the path of a student.

In four years, He'll show me the next path.

I'll just have to wait until then.

Still round the corner there may wait

A new road or a secret gate,

And though I oft have passed them by,

A day will come at last when I

Shall take the hidden paths that run

West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

~J. R. R. Tolkien, A Walking Song
