Traveler, your footprints
are the only road, nothing else.
Traveler, there is no path;
you make your own path as you walk.
Antonio Machado

Traveler, your footprints
are the only road, nothing else.
Traveler, there is no path;
you make your own path as you walk.
Antonio Machado

A new month. We think we know where we are going.
Surely it is better to wait and see, moment by moment. Who knows where we will end up?
Whales follow
the whale-roads.
Geese, roads of magnetized air.
Yet how often
the heart
that set out for Peru
arrives in China,
Steering hard.
consulting the charts
the whole journey.
Jane Hirshfield, China
