The Road Not Takenstesch_jahicOctober 3 2005, 00:25:42 UTC
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; 5
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, 10
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. 15
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. 20

I read this, and thinking of all that you and I talked about, I read your post. And I was reminded about this poem, one of my father's favorites. I'm sure you've heard of it, but read it again. I don't even know if it helps any. But its there. Another thought. How many time in our old age will we ask, "What if I had done...?" For once, at least, you can say "I did... and it was awesome, even if I had to pay for it later." Another thing that may or may not help

Indeed, that's a good poem. Hah, we had to memorize the first part of it in 9th grade if I recall.. Yeh. And thank you once again, it's always nice to know when someone's got my back. ALSO. Thank you for the cds, I'm excited to hear what's on them. AND, no worries about our conversation. For one, it had nada to do with Bald Rock. And for two, I believe I will always be perplexed :) But yeah. Thanks :)

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; 5
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, 10
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. 15

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. 20
