This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom | Martin H�gglund

“We are committed to pursuing one possibility rather than another.This commitment entails a necessary uncertainty of secular faith, since we won the risk of failure or loss in pursuing the possibilities to which we are devoted.”- Martin Hagglund
This passage/thinking reminds me of Frost‘s poem, The Road Not Taken.

Early Poems | Robert Frost

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,
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics 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. 5y

GingerAntics #RobertFrost #TheRoadNotTaken #poetry #hiking #nature Photo taken on my hike this afternoon. It was a beautiful, wonderful day to be outdoors and there was just no way I was staying in. I totally understand why people want to write poetry about the natural world. If I could write poetry to save my life, I‘d probably write some nature poetry too. Maybe even some poems about the ocean (I do love the ocean). 😏 (edited) 5y

Mccall0113 I read this poem at my sisters funeral 💙 5y

GingerAntics @Mccall0113 oh wow, that‘s beautiful and heartbreaking. Great time for this poem, though. It‘s very introspective and philosophical. (edited) 5y
