Tap into your Took

There is a great line in The Hobbit, when Gandalf is talking to Bilbo about going on an adventure with the dwarfs. You see, Bilbo was not only a Baggins, there was Took on his mother’s side, and the Tooks were adventurers.

“Then something Tookish woke up inside him, and he wished to go and see the great mountains, and hear the pine-trees and the waterfalls, and explore the caves, and wear a sword instead of a walking-stick.”― J.R.R. Tolkien

I think we all have some Took inside us, it gets buried under bills and reports and corporate expectations, but it’s there. Discovering, exploring, is a very human thing to do, we are not satisfied with what is known.

What do you desire, where do you want to go today?
