I strongly believe that what is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right. That's why I'm such a big fan of this poem by Robert Frost.
"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 onto 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
OH, and the photo above was taken at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA.

Life can be summed up by the last lines of that poem. Esp. since Jesus himself spoke to it--about wide & narrow paths. I love Robert Frost. My fav's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" & "Nothing Gold Can Stay"
Great poem - definitely one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing it with us : )
Love,
Mom
