The Grassy Road

Inspiration for this blog come from one of my favorite poets Robert Frost.

             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 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.


 It is a simple poem with deep meaning about life. We can follow the path that is worn and heavily travelled or one that is seldom travelled , grassy. We are often stuck in the traffic and the smog sometimes even gridlock. Yet - we could have made a choice to live a simpler more serene live.

go green,
Earl.
