Frosty the Poet...
why is it that robert frost never warned us that taking the road less traveled greatly increases the odds of spraining our ankles? maybe he thought that if he did, no one would want to tread the unknown...
maybe.
i think it's 'cuz he wanted us to find out for ourselves that it is only while icing our foot that we can see a landscape that is worth ten-fold the pain. he knew if we hadn't first fallen flat on our face, we would have completely missed the true beauty of the path.

I like your thoughts about increasing our odds of spraining our ankles; and yet, on that path, we might also encounter a strange new bush with a leaf that could cure disease . . . or a bunch of merrymakers inviting us into a dance which thrills our spirit! Frost is wonderful enough to say only that taking the "less traveled by" has "made all the difference"; a consequence completely non-judgemental & entirely open to our imaginations!
good thought anon! thanks for the comment!
