Lost Favorite

I love poetry. I managed to get English as a second major in college, purely do to the obscene amount of poetry classes that I took.  I was fortunate enough to work side by side with some wonderful poets, both in and out of lecture, and this is a gift that I am extremely grateful for.  Anyways, the reason for this post is that I stumbled across one of my favorite poems that I had forgotten all about. I wish I could take credit for this, but in fact I cannot, praise goes to Robert Frost.  This excerpt is from "Black Cottage" and speaks to, what I feel to be, an amazing universal truth.  The poem is amazing, but this bit is exceptionally amazing, I hope it strikes you all in the way that it struck me so many years ago

For, dear me, why abandon a belief

Merely because it ceases to be true.

Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt

It will turn true again, for so it goes.

Most of the change we think we see in life

Is due to truths being in and out of favour.
