Even though these are Robert Frost's words and not mine, they spoke to me today in a very deep and meaningful way that begs to be shared. So I'm posting this poem as my blog for the day. Enjoy.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, | |
And sorry I could not travel both | |
And be one traveler, long I stood | |
And looked down one as far as I could | |
To where it bent in the undergrowth; |
|
|
Then took the other, as just as fair, | |
And having perhaps the better claim, | |
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; | |
Though as for that the passing there | |
Had worn them really about the same, |
|
|
And both that morning equally lay | |
In leaves no step had trodden black. | |
Oh, I kept the first for another day! | |
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, | |
I doubted if I should ever come back. |
|
|
I shall be telling this with a sigh | |
Somewhere ages and ages hence: | |
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— | |
I took the one less traveled by, | |
And that has made all the difference. |

That is one of my all-time favorite poems, Anne Marie! I think of the last sentence of that poem at least once a week...I have for years. Similar taste, we haz it.
