Road Less Traveled

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 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 took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

~ Robert Frost

I’ve been quiet. I’ve been still. I’ve lit candles. I’ve prayed. I’ve read. I’ve cleaned. And I’ve asked. What do you do when your head says one thing and your heart says the other? Which is right? Do you lean into faith? Or into the embrace of security?

This is my space of peace right now. This is where I want to go.
