This picture is taken on the east coast of O'ahu, which is the island that I live on. But it reminds me of Maui and makes me want to go there. Jordan's family lives on Maui and I love it everytime we're there. The plan is to move there in June and hopefully we will.
I have a wierd fascination of roads and pictures of roads. They symbolize life. I am especially intrigued with forks in the road, indicating that a decision has to be made. The road on the picture goes next to the ocean, hopefully straight to a job at the Pacific Whale Foundation on Maui.
Tom ran away the other day. Or so we thought, until we found him locked into another apartment. I don't know what those people had done to him but he was smelling horribly and he was all sketchy. Jordan opened the screen door to the apartment, got Tom, and brought him home. Now he's fine but he was exhausted when he came home. He scared us again two days later when he didn't come home for twelve hours. No more going out for him until we move out of downtown.
We live in Korean town and they say that cats get cat-napped and cooked. I don't really believe in it though, it sounds too much of a myth to me. I am just happy that he's home and safe.
Antar att du redan känner till den men en av mina favoritdikter handlar om vägval:

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;
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,
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.
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.
Ja det är en av mina favoriter också sedan två år tillbaka. Tror till och med att jag kan ha visat den för dig... Jag såg den på väggen i kontoret hos en av skolans Academical advisers. :)
ReplyDeleteMed tanke på att jag känt till den i mer än 10-12 år så var det troligen inte du som introducerade den för mig. Nog för att du var en smart unge men jag tror inte du läste den på engelska i tolvårsåldern ;)
