I hope no one considers me a hog for posting too much, but this peom, written in 1920 can best describe, (I think), expats in PI. As you read it a couple times I hope you enjoy its simplicity (for reading) and its complexity (for deep thinking). Please enjoy...

1. The Road Not Taken


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20

"Some people follow the path wherever it leads them.
While others are not afraid to leave the path, if they don't agree with the direction it is taking" ......regards JB
