"Pick out a star on the dark horizon...

...and follow the light." The Call, Regina Spektor.


The Road Less Traveled by Robert Frost

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.

I don't really have a specific crossroads at the moment that is causing me to quote this--it's just the general time of life.

Isn't life ironic?
