“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost
I’ll add another verse: “And a ton more snow in my boots.”

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

Clear winter night. Nearly full Wolf Moon. Snow-covered ground. A crisp 12 degrees F. Hard to beat the peace and solitude one feels.
