Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, but I chose neither one. Instead, I set sail in my little boat to watch a sunset from a different view that couldn’t be seen from shore. Then I climbed the tallest mountain peak to watch the amber sun through the clouds. Finally, I travelled to the darkest part of the valley to see the last glimmering rays of light through the misty fog. It was every perspective I experienced on my journey that left the leaves trodden black, and that has made all the difference.” ~ Shannon L Alder

My Comments: I just love the stuff at Rebelle Society. I can identify with this piece. Spending lots of time on deployment and away from home has given me those times to really appreciate my solitude.
