As a parting meditation I would like to share with you Robert Frost's famous contemplation of possibility and choice at Life's Crossroads:
Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken (1915)
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.
Here is a link to a brief audio-visual rendition of "The Road Not Taken" (3:12). The young person in this clip reminds me a lot of the teenagers I used to work with at Phoenix House!
And here is a link to a site where you can read some brief "Road Not Taken" stories!
My very best wishes as you navigate through and beyond your personal crossroads,
