July 2017, White Temple / Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai, Thailand

2017 marked my first visit to Chiang Rai. This unique temple was a definite highlight on this trip.

Robert Frost’s, “The Road Not Taken” has been a favorite since my teen years. Traveling down that less traveled road of life and learning new things around each bend.

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.
