Five-Minute Friday Writing Prompt: Wander

Not all who wander are lost.

This is a popular line from JRR Tolkien’s famous book series, Lord of the Rings. Specifically, Fellowship of the Ring.

Aragorn wandered all over upon learning of his royal heritage as future king. He was wanting to learn about the land and the people he would one day be ruling over. Thus, he had a specific reason and goal to his wanderings.

It seems that was the point of this well-known line, i.e. to have a goal in life. To know why and what one is wandering for. A good lesson for all of us.

This series is a great adventurous read with much excitement. You will need to read the series to find out how Aragorn does!
