You make the path



The Spanish poet Antonio Machado wrote:


Traveler, you make the path

with your footsteps, nothing more;

Traveler, there is no path,

you make the path by walking it,

by walking it you make the path

and when you look back

you will see the path,

a path you will never walk again.

Traveler, there is no path,

Only the wake left by ships in the sea.

Better if you don't look down at the pages of your paper crown (Liam Gallagher)

Another of my bookmarked pages in Paulo Coelho's Maktub says: 

Whenever there is a decision to be made, it's best just to let go and accept the consequences. you can't possibly know in advance what those consequences might be.

In the prayer that Jesus taught us, He says: "Thy will be done". Whenever that will presents us with a problem, it always brings with it a solution.
