All I could do was accept my losses and my choices going forward to where I was now and, though with some regrets, accept that maybe there was some gladness. Either things had changed or I had changed to the point where fixing that certain something from the past could never be. I have gone back a few times to try to set some things straight about my life e.g. That then makes all the difference in that you must accept what you chose because you can never really go back to the same situation. I wonder if he meant the road you take is the one that leads on to new choices and you play with the idea of going back to something that seemed interesting and in time it becomes, as most cases do, an impossibility. The most significant word in the stanzaand perhaps the most overlooked yet essential word in the poemis roads. Or he possibly did mean what you said and also something else. Here’s how the poem begins: 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. I also can agree as you stated he may have meant something else. I think you are correct that the poem may be about a higher calling to pursue the best way.
