The Road Not Taken

[~*~Rachel~*~ 2]

My surgery is tomorrow and I shared this poem on my blog. Now I know all the breakdown and interpretation of this poem but I found it relevant to the path I am taking tomorrow. I will take the path less traveled. I hope it gives everyone having surgery this week some reassurance... Good luck and see you in band world!

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.^[1]

Happy tears...thanks for sharing this. Tomorrow....tomorrow. A new chapter in our lives begin, to be lived and written and learned by each of us. What a miraculous thing. The taking into one's own hands, a new destiny and claiming it as our own.
