In other non-related news: I'm still at two interviews but they are both booked, confirmed and on the horizon. I have been reading a new-to-me-blog that is informative and relevant to my future job as pediatric neurologist. I owe this find to Grady Doctor. If you have any interesest in child neuro, epilepsy or raising a special needs kid then a moon, worn as if had been a shell is worth checking out. And in ode to my new find (the author likes poetry) I am posting one of my favorite poem's of all time. Because it reminds me of being outside, enjoying the moment and also everything I still need to do with respect to this year, matching, life, etc.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets! I particularly love "The Road Not Taken" but I remember having to memorize this poem in the 6th grade. It came a lot more easily than the others for some reason...But I fully agree with you on its relevance to life right now-thank you for the beautiful reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the shout-out! I so loved your original comment to me, and can you freaking believe how amazing that group of parents is that have responded to your beautiful self?
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I memorized that Robert Frost poem IN SEVENTH GRADE and can still recite it along with "Two Roads Diverged in a Wood" -- they're good ones.
No, I really can't believe it! I am overwhelmed by the response your post has generated. It is truly inspiring.
DeleteI simply love Frost.
