you brought tears to my eyes too, child! well done!

gandalf himself said that "the ringbearer has fulfilled his quest!" maybe the task set for frodo was what he had actually accomplished and all that was required of him by the One was to bring it within reach of the flames of doom. 99% hard work and 1% divine intervention, and as niphredil put it correctly, completely catholic (as tolkien was)! oh i totally agree with all the posts here, they are all oh so eloquent.
