“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!”
“We are plain quiet folk, and I have no use for adventures. Nasty, disturbing, and uncomfortable things.”
“Getting rid of dragons is not at all in my line, but I will do my best to think about it. Personally I have no hopes at all, and wish I was safe back at home.”
I am hardly off to get rid of a dragon, but I will say I am feeling daunted by what's in front of me. I guess you could say that I'm a fair weather adventurer. When it's daylight out, I feel I can do anything - in the dark of nighttime, this whole "moving to Korea" thing seems ill-advised and frightening.
Time will tell. It's currently pretty scary feeling, but I'm sure there will be good things for me, too.
Also Bilbo-related, and again, stretching the metaphor a bit, but I will try to think of it this way... It's not extraordinary courage that I'll need to get through this, but the everyday sort.
“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
