I love this time of year with all the color and beauty of nature all around. Autumn always reminds me of this poem by Robert Frost. It’s so simple and yet so powerful in its meaning.
The Road Not Taken
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 marked 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.
Robert Frost (1874-1963)
This road for us has certainly been challenging, filled with difficult choices and many ups and downs. But I will continue to take the road less traveled by—and that will make all the difference!
