Path Making is Really Path Breaking

"Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más;

caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar.

Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás

se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar.

Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar."

Wanderer, your footsteps are  the road, and nothing else;

wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking.

Walking makes the road, and on glancing behind

one sees the path that he will never trod again.

Wanderer, there is no road, just foam in the sea.

--Antonio Machado
