Habitual Choices

My friend Adrian had Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken in his blog. He said that it was meant to remind him. It is interesting that it reminds me, too, of my journey. My initial choice has become a habit. I hope that consistently choosing the path less traveled will lead me somewhere pleasant :) It is not that the common path is not attractive. It is, as a matter of fact. It is just that i keep thinking that the other is more worthwhile. It is more difficult to traverse but i get to see and experience things that others dont. I have no complaints and i look forward to the rest of the way.

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 as 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 onto 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.
