here

I followed a path

thinking that it led somewhere

but it’s ended here—

*

It isn’t the road

not taken so much as the

untakeable road—

*

Follow my advice:

don’t follow a path—choose the

made up, pathless ways.

with apologies to robert frost’s road not taken

– the poem is based on a meditation of Philippe de Saint Maurice

    Is it an ironic (in)junction – the ending, I mean? 🤗

  2. Anna @MadBearBooks says

    A twist on the road not taken by Robert Frost!

  3. Achyut Patwardhan says

    As enigmatic as any Saint Mauritian insight, like a precept of Krishnamurti condensed to its essence, cut down to essential size.
