"Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
To bow and accept the end
Of a love or of a season?"
from "Reluctance" by Robert Frost
Robert Frost posed the question. Is it less than treason to go with the drift of things, to yield with grace to reason, to bow and accept the end of something beautiful? My answer? It is not a betrayal of beauty or love to go with the flow, to age gracefully, to move on without a fight. To do so - to go with the drift of things, is the true essence of beauty and love.
