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.

It’s good to be Independent but not too ;-) | Concord, MA.

Happy Independence Day to all !

Here are a few images from Concord, MA which along with Lexington and Boston, where I live, were the hotspots of the American Revolution. I haven’t walked around Concord that much. It’s a nice town but it’s not looking very revolutionary these days. ;-).

March Winds

March Winds bring April Showers and this year, in Boston, it’s no different.

It’s easy to take the power of nature for granted. Today’s society has given many of us, a false sense of security from the elements. This winter has been mild in comparison to the past few, so as unpredictable as always.

Occasionally when I stand in the midst of a blowing wind or near a roaring ocean, I’ve  actually got a rush of fear, exhilarating but nonetheless fear.

Don’t mess with Mother Nature… lb

Note: For best listening, I suggest using headphones.
