And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

That I need learn to let go with the heart.
I am not a teacher, but an awakener.
Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
