The wisdom of the Cherokees (part 30)

"A woodland path is good medicine for a weary walker…"

The wisdom of the Sequichie of the Cherokees

I can think of a woodland path whose bosky beauty invited me to feel a revived thrill of energy and solitary pleasure, as I silently listened to the music of the dell….

And this brief bit of Cherokee wisdom makes me think of Robert Frost’s "The Road Not Taken," you remember that one:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

. . . And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

. . . and I—I took the one less traveled by, . . .

Try not to look back after you take the fork in the road.

Mostly, it’s easier that way.
