The Road Less Traveled

As I look at all the good things in my life, I am amazed that I am ever in a position of fear or trepidation.  All my needs have been provided for throughout my existence.  There has been no need to fear or fret.

In May 2018 I took the plunge into the unknown.  I quit my full-time job with cushy benefits because I desired more.  There was a part of me that was compelled towards the next step forward.  Each step I take reveals the next step.  This one constant has proved true: I have always been provided for.

This poem by Robert Frost always has a special place in my heart:

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.”

Perhaps this summarizes where I am?

Let us make today grand.  Our eyes have awakened to the sweet grandeur of life.  We only come around this way once.

Upward and Onward my friends.
