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.
