Day 15!
Who would be your best friends at Middle Earth? (Three only).
Well, I know who I'd want as best friends, but I can't say for sure that they'd want ME. I'm one of the 'big people' and they think of us... somewhat justifiably so I might add, as just big and rather stupid.
I'd like Frodo to be my best friend, though I know I'd never be his BFF because he has such an excellent best friend already. But his gentleness, his kindness, his strength of character and strength of will are qualities I admire. Being around this sweet gentle-Hobbit would be a most wonderful experience.
Of course I'd also want Sam to be my best friend. Who wouldn't want a best friend like him? Whole books have been written talking about his loyalty, his love, his enduring strength and unfailing hope. He's someone you know would be there for you through good times and bad. He's someone you could count on, though the same could be said for Frodo. I'd like to garden with Sam. I'd like to watch him plant and tend his garden so I could learn from him, but mostly so I could see and hear how he interacts with the plants that he loves. To me, that would be a glorious experience. I'd also like to watch him cook... cook for Frodo I mean. I'd like to see the kind of care he put into preparing Frodo's meals. To me.. that would be awe inspiring.
Lastly I think I'd want Pippin to be my best friend. (Can one have THREE best friends?) Anyway... I would have liked to spend time with Pippin. His humor, his innocence and unfailing eagerness to experience all that life has to offer appeals to me. It would be fun to watch him learn and grow. He became so much more than just the young Hobbit he started out as when they left the Shire. His journey is one that I've always found to be so very moving. He leaves his innocence behind as he faces all the experiences of the quest, but grows into a truly amazing wisdom in the course of that journey.
Well that's my pick for three best friends... though I say again that a person can't have three BEST anything. You get only one. And I'm very lucky to have a great one in Cathy.
