“Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.”

Context: Wanderer, your footprints are
the path, and nothing else;
wanderer, there is no path,
the path is made by walking.
Walking makes the path,
and on glancing back
one sees the path
that will never trod again.
Wanderer, there is no path—
Just steles in the sea.
Courage and alertness

“They’ll say you’re walking down the wrong path, if you’re walking down your path.”
Dirán que andas por un camino equivocado, si andas por tu camino.
Voces (1943)

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.
