Way

Interesting word: way. Pathway? A practiced way of doing things? An option (I did it my way)? A little way from here? Or as an adverb: “I’m way happy!” Perhaps referring to a door: “come in the front way.” Maybe “prepare ye the way …” Hmmm.

How about weigh? Would that be “to ponder?” Or to determine the importance, or to measure (how much does it weigh), or to influence (weigh in on something)?

Should I weigh my way? We’re cautioned to “consider your ways.”

Robert Frost crafted these words in “The Road Not Taken”:

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.

Robert Frost

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

That sounds like a good way … a way less traveled by.
