Life is undoubtedly a journey, each one of us finds in our own steps the joy, love, success, satisfaction and everything wonderful of a brilliant life or sadness, pain, bitterness, frustration, hatred, fear, resentment and more of a life full of darkness. That idea always comes to my mind when embarking on a new day I remember that only we are responsible for the path we have chosen, one of my favorite writers Antonio Machado has a beautiful poem that begins like this:

Walkers, they are your footprints
The path and nothing more;
Wayfarer, there is no way,
The path is made by walking.
The path is made as you walk and when you look back
You see the path that will never
You'll never tread it again.
Wayfarer, there is no path
But only wakes in the sea.

This poem leads me to think about what many times we should count as the main thing of our existence and that is the footprints we leave, those marks that remain in the memory and soul of other people. Our life in walking does not consist of arriving faster or first, in exhausting our effort to jump stages believing that with this we can be close to fulfill a splendorous life; on the contrary, life consists of enjoying the road while we make each of our steps leave a beautiful footprint and that our footsteps make the land where we walk flourish.

We make our way and in each step the experience marks on the map of our life that path, which as Machado says we must not step on again, you will think how is it that we do not step on it again? Well, simply because every day is something new, every moment is a possibility to change the course or continue forward by the one we have chosen, our steps are renewed every day even if our shoes are the same, the important thing is where they will take us. May each step be the best and most important of our life.
Greetings @emimoron
The path of all people is usually different and lead to a positive or negative learning, total of them we learn and feedback our learning process in life. Every day we can go through the same path, but this one leaves us totally different learnings than the previous ones.

The road ... sometimes we focus so much on getting where we are going that we don't stop to enjoy the trip, to enjoy the road. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful and thoughtful poem in your post friend @emimoron

Hi @emimoron!
Very thoughtful post, certainly sometimes we forget to enjoy the road and we only focus on getting there, without thinking that we can no longer return to live what we did not live, we must enjoy every day to the fullest and keep our steps steady towards our dreams and goals. Greetings!

Hello, many times we are so focused on quickly going through each route of our life that we end up missing the opportunity to connect with all the good and wonderful things that are around us. Thank you for that beautiful comment.

hello @emimoron,I personally believe that our life expectancy is very short, but for some reason most people think that we are eternal and then forget that every day is different, on the other hand I also believe that the circumstances surrounding our days were designed by us, finally I would like to mention that we are all writing our own story and every day is a chapter of that story.

Hello, you are right, if all my years of adult life have taught me anything, it is that life can change you in an instant without you being able to do anything about it, that is why we should value and be thankful in every moment and especially enjoy and live our passage through the universe.

It is a beautiful poem that has always been one of my favorites since I was young, "se hace camino al andar" (the path is made by walking). We take advantage of building with each step to be able to continue and get where we are going,
thank you for your contribution

Thank you very much friend and yes I think that for all of us who love Spanish literature without a doubt that must be one of the favorite poems. In my personal case Machado's work is one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing

Hi @emimoron. Very nice post, very thoughtful, sometimes we really go through life wanting to get somewhere fast and we forget to enjoy the road, which in most of the time is the most important thing because it is the one that gives us learning and we leave the lessons that allow us to look back and assess where we are.

I understand we write in English here, but I think in case of a poem, you could cite also the original Spanish version. (Which sounds much better for me than the English translation.)

Hi totally agree, the musicality and essence of the poem is in its original language, but I am always respectful of the rules in communities, however, welcome the observation. Thank you.
