Touchestone 2

"Life is a waterfall
We're one in the river and one again after the fall"

These are the first two lines of the song "Ariels" by System of a Down. I think it is profound because of the metaphorical use of referring life to different forms of water. Humans are "one" or together in the river of life and the waterfall symbolizes the death of a human. We are one in life and also one in death.

Touchstone

My touchstone passage is from Robert Frost's poem The Road Not Taken. The last stanza of the poem goes like this: "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". Taking the harder path traveled by the few is the kind of life that I want, and I know it will mean all the difference. You only live once, so choose the path traveled by few and you will be amazed at what you can find and how individual, and not drone-like, you will become.

This is my touchstone passage because I constantly refer to the last two lines to describe choices in life.
