The Path not Taken

"two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."


These words from a Robert Frost Poem, "The Road Not Taken", have been a...mmm...touchstone for me since my teen years. I was already taking "the road less traveled", and I still do--at least sometimes. 


Problem is, the road less traveled is often the road less maintained, the one with the most pot holes. Heck, sometimes the road I've taken turns out to be a deer trail that peters off in the wild! Then I have to backtrack and find the my way again. Sometimes I feel like I'm bushwhacking, and boy is THAT frustrating and time comsuming! Or the road disappears and I have no idea where I am going! 


That's what I've been feeling like lately, like the road has disappeared, or maybe it's lost in the darkness and I just can't see it.
