In reading The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng, I come across and reflect on this exchange on free will.  

 “I said, “There must be free will to choose. Do you know the poem about the two roads, and the one not taken?”  

“Yes.  That has always amused me, because who created the two roads in the first place?”  

It was a question I had never considered.” 

Of course, that opens up questions on creation that may go beyond our thoughts on free will, but I’m with the roads that tangle and untangle before us.  What guides us in our choices?  How do we meet what comes?

The beach at Tennessee Valley yesterday
The rains are opening up the stream to the ocean
Ways to cross
Cut down Eucalyptus Tree
Beauty in the Grain
