a toast to a new life

From a kind friend…

Caminante, son tus huellas el camino y nada mas;
Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino, y al volver la vista atras
se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino sino estelas en la mar.
~Antonio Machado

Translation:
Pilgrim, the path is your tracks
And nothing more.
Pilgrim, there is no path
The path is made by walking.
By walking you make a path
And turning, you look back
At a way you will never tread again
Pilgrim, there is no road
Only wakes in the sea.

Just what I needed to hear right now….

    Beautiful. And having walked bits of the path with you, I know you leave smiles wherever you tread – literally and figuratively. :)
