The Way Home  by Lindelea 5 Review(s)

Bill has certainly grown in wisdom, hasn't he? And now he's able to encourage and assist Shadowfax in his grief.

Will they make it all the way to Bree before Shadowfax is needed by Gandalf? Will Shadowfax deliver him safely into Butterbur's hands? I hope so!

Yes, he has grown as much as do four Hobbits of his acquaintance.

This chapter seems to embody the mission of life: the walk of life. On we must go, despite weariness, sorrow, toil and pain, despite hopelessness we must carry on. Foot by foot by foot by foot… No matter what comes. I love Bill’s patient and wise thoughts. He has indeed grown; he is no longer only a pony. (If indeed he ever was) How lovely! Thank you so much for the continued faithful updates!!!

Perhaps hobbits embody a similar magic that I am only now beginning to be able to recognise? They may present a surface appearance that hides what lies beneath from the casual observer – and, perhaps, even from themselves.

I love Bill's insight here.

"He may become like a glass filled with a clear light for eyes to see that can."

Not just Frodo, eh? So ponies and more-than-ponies can achieve this state as well. :)

Hooray! He finally got over that "only a pony" stuff once and for all.
