A Bit of Wisdom from Robert Frost on His Birthday

Derry, NH....Robert Lee Frost March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963.. Below is one of his classic poems. Our wish for you is that you take the less traveled path as did Mr. Frost.


The Road Not Taken ~ 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 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.

They don’t understand history. It’s erased. Like all things that mean logic.

    I remember my HS English teacher Mrs Bergeron. I got an A on my interpretation of the Road Often Traveled.
    Instead of worrying about making one's path in life(like most of my fellow student's interpretation), I preferred to think that most travelers take the path that gets them where they want to go, the quickest and easiest.
    Yes, I got laughed at, but Mrs. B was good about pointing out how most of us will take the same route in life.
    To struggle on the less worn path may seem heroic at a young age, but reality sinks in for most of us.
    A good job, a good marriage, a nice home. That is the path most seek.

Quality literature and poetry has endured for a reason. Their truths are universal and encourage independent thinking, something seemingly lacking in many today.

Am going to dust off my dog-eared copy of Frost and reread a few poems, especially the one about good fences making good neighbors. Few understand the meaning behind it either.

    Trump did, that's why he wanted the wall for the American people. Only reason the socialist didn't was because Trump did. That's a fact that can not be denied since every dem when having a democrat president before this dementia patient had fought in Congress to get more money for the wall. Now the socialist party don't want it, two reasons, trump wanted it, second reason future votes. Well maybe a few more, sex trafficking, illegal drugs, both are the left's cravings too, and somehow the left will be making money off that too.

      Interesting-Did you know that the 'f' and the 'e' in the word left are also part of the word Lucifer. The first three letters of Democrat are also the first three of Demon or first two of Devil. Go figure! We are dealing with this evil entity these days and always have to fight it!

A bit of Wisdom if that's possible, Joe

So our "president" has asked our Vice President, Kamala Harris to take care of this problem on our Southern Border. Is that a wise decision? She is after all the person who called ICE the KKK. She is also the one who, when our country was (and still is) having violent rioting almost all year long and she asked her party members to send donations to help bailout violent protestors who were looting and burning innocent people's businesses, attacking people.
Our Border Patrol put their life on the line and she's the one who no longer seems to want to uphold out laws. She doesn't think it's a crisis, she even laughed about it just a few days ago. Many of these people have just cause, but thousands of them are criminals of every type imaginable, and you send our VP Joe? You haven't even visited our Border or talked with our Border Patrol? You haven't even reached out to your own party in these states and when you sent people from your own administration even they did not reach out to your own political party members. I don't know what's worse, sending Kamala down there, or if you went down and tried to remember which country you represent.
Either way, I can guarantee you that our Border Patrol Agents will not haveuch respect for either one of you for putting them through all of this. If our country doesn't need a border security why on earth does our Nations Capitol need FOUR MILES OF FENCE TOPPED WITH RAZOR WIRE AND THE NATIONAL GUARD....Now that's something to think about Joe.
