a path

I took this picture in the Inner Garden of the Meiji Jingu Shrine in Harajuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan. It has been the background on my computer for the past few weeks. It seems to symbolize something more than just a path through the grass. Maybe for me it means a path through to the unknown. When I was there, I never walked that path. I took the picture as I was walking another way. The one poet I remember studying in middle school English was Robert Frost. "I took the road less traveled by, and it has made all the difference..." Looking at this now makes me think maybe I didn't explore all my options before choosing my path. Or that in some way I'm holding myself back.

Robert Frost is one of my favorites, not to long ago I checked out a book of his from the Manhattan library. His poetry is great, and I have the same birthday as him which makes me feel pretty special. Cool Picture.
