Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost

[grannyjill]

that's understandable, my kids were well grown up when i decided to stay in the woods. i'm at my ex's now my eldest daughter is also there. and it like a reverse woods. this is the one i like to pass through and stop in for just a while before moving on home to addy and her mum. still the woods where or whatever they maybe i think are a sanctuary of sorts. a holding point for things to come. i like the book being your wood leanne, as a child books were my woods, i lived through them before having to return to the real world.

do you have a personal woods granny? somewhere you could willingly get lost in given half a chance?

Sorry billy didn't see this question until now. I have thought about this, and my woods definitely were books...I lived in those 'woods' all my early years, as they were my teachers, my companions, my therapists, my sanctuary in times of trouble and being hauled out of them used to be traumatic. To-day - well, I don't need the woods any more. I love being me, doing what I'm doing and I rarely read now apart from the odd book of poetry, and reference books.
