• The Road Not Taken

  Can I take a liberty and deviate a bit by talking about something that is not necessarily related to ‘tea’, though it does focus on mood. Today I am sharing with you a poem that has always been my favourite. Often we all find ourselves standing at the crossroads wondering which road to take, what choice to make. The choices, on a lighter level, could pertain to choice of tea or coffee, or on a more serious level may pertain to more complex issues of life. I am sure you will love the poem by Robert Frost. Perhaps it will lift your mood and make you rush for your cup of tea. So enjoy..

  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.
