The last 3 lines of that poem are:
=============
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost
=============
Another famous writer is quoted as saying;
Do not go where the path may lead
Go instead where there is no path
And leave a trail.
- Emerson
=============
The moral taught by these writers is to not blindly follow the freeways of life where everyone else is traveling. Instead, forge your own way. Follow your heart. Follow your intuition into the woods of your own heart. Build a trail, which can develop into A Green Road, something that will be sustainable and not harm seven future generations, so that many may follow your footsteps and build a city of light. As more and more individuals do this, they will be called the rainbow tribe, which will help heal the Earth and teach the way to live with methods that are in harmony with Nature's laws, rather than fighting them.

Humankind has not woven the web of life
We are but one thread in it
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves
All things are bound together
All things connect
