Quotes & Poem
“If the state of your heart right now became the state of the world, what then would be the state of the world?”
– Josh Schrie (paraphrased)
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
― Margaret Mead
Two translations of the poem I mentioned, and the original Spanish:
XXIX
By Antonio Machado
(from Border of a Dream: Selected Poems)
Pathmaker, the path is your tracks,
nothing else.
Pathmaker, there in no path,
The path is made by walking.
And turning the gaze back,
Look on the trail that never will be
Walked again.
Pathmaker, there no path,
Only the wake on the sea.
Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road — Only wakes upon the sea.
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.
