Today's Affirmation

"Today I will carefully consider the road I am on.  Today I will carefully choose the road I want to take."

 

 

Greetings to you, this Tuesday morning!

 

This morning I would simply like to share one of my favorite poems by one of my favorite poets, Robert Frost. 

 

Maybe because I am a New England girl.  Maybe because it is autumn and the cooler air is running through my veins.  Maybe because Robert Frost seems appropriate this morning. 

 

Or maybe because yesterday I wrote about roads, and so roads are in my mind today.  Or maybe I want to share this poem because of all the above.

 

Is it so important to know the reason of things all the time?  Sometimes the reason is not important.

 

 

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost 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.
