Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
~ Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken
I had recently quoted these lines when some important things were in the midst of being decided. And I wanted to put them here, as a memory stamp which would depict the sleepless moments that accompanied the process and also the stark finality of the choice that was made..
So keeping up with the tradition, I started searching for a picture for it. Which is when I found this picture that I have posted here. Looking at it, I thought to myself- who's to say that the two roads are diverging out..? What the picture shows is a junction of two roads- and it can be read in another way too. It can also be interpreted as two roads coming together to meet each other into one. And suddenly, all finality evaporated and I felt a strange relief which soothed my raw nerves as I laughed out aloud- I will sleep well tonight.. :)
Every single moment in time is complete in itself- it is not only a moment which signifies an end to the time before it, but also a moment which is the gateway to the time which is to come after it.
As I now look at the picture- I am most certain of it. Two different roads have converged into a single one.. And this new road is going to pave the way for.. Umm.. Well :) Let me just say...
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
~ Rick Blaine, Casablanca
I know wonderful things are in store for Rick and Louis... :)
