The Road Not Taken

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,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked 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.

Tvind

Tvind is situated on the West Coast of the Danish peninsula Jutland – 10 km from the North Sea, 250 km from the German Border, 400 km from Copenhagen – near the village Ulfborg between the two towns Holstebro and Ringkøbing.
The landscape is flat and open, sprinkled with cattle- and crop-farms. The sky is huge and overwhelming – and the spruce and pines are fencing the fields leaning westward, forced by the persuasive west wind.
The School Centre in Tvind is a bouquet of schools, homes, and cultural centres with strong traditions of being untraditional, with solid pedagogical experiences, and with an international orientation influencing all parts of school life. In total around 100 people - hailing from more than 15 different countries - live, work and go to school in Tvind.
