What could you try for the first time?

Maybe reading poetry regularly.

‘And that made all the difference’

Is the last line of a poem that has shaped my thinking ever since I first read it.

The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost.

I have always known that any decision taken, sets me on a certain path. There is always an alternative.

Poetry resides in Autumn for me, possibly because of this poem. A Yellow Wood speaks to me of Autumnal colour changes.

This poem suggests that free will and decision making go hand in hand. That is not always my experience. Pragmatism is often the path of choice. No matter how verdant the alternative seems. Regardless , right now I have chosen the path of more poetry. Two books, quickly reserved on my Library App.

A poem or two before bed will be my new Autumnal habit.
