...one of the most misunderstood poems in history ...
Robert Frost (1874–1963).
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 took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Funny how this is used for a commercial- makes me smile- it's messages like this, that help me along my life, my journey, and more literally when I hike. But then my hikes become lessons, and perhaps, soon poetry. I have a great story of one particular hike I took when I decided to go on an adventure, and I took a path I had never taken. That day became one of my favorite days- perhaps my favorite day. That decision made all the difference!

Dear Anna,
I didn´t even know that the clip was used for a commercial... oh well ;)
Nature holds all the answers for us, I belive... its easy... We just simply have to leave our daily routine and go out ...to find the richness and wonders and finally become reconnected with the sorce.
