The Road is Your Footsteps...

Wanderer, the road is your footsteps, nothing else;
wanderer, there is no path,
you lay down a path in walking.

In walking, you lay down a path
and when turning around
you see the road you'll
never step on again.
Wanderer, path there is none,
only tracks on the ocean foam.

The Road is Your Footsteps, by Antonio Machado, translated by Francisco Valera

I love this poem. It reminds us that we all create our own path as we journey through life and there is no going back. This is why we suffer if we spend too much time mentally reliving our past, longing for times and places gone by and people who have gone in a different direction. Living in the past can lead to regrets, sadness, bitterness and depression to name a few.

The past is over and the future does not yet exist, so living in this present moment is where we find peace, joy, and inspiration for navigating through the more difficult times in life. We can learn from our past, we can visit briefly for the sake of retrieving information needed today, but to dwell there will lead to suffering.

The same is true for dwelling on the future. In the same way, since it only exists in our minds, our focus is on things that do not yet exist, have not happened, and may not happen. We can visit there to make plans, to dream, to set intentions, but we must return home to the present moment with loving hearts and open minds, with expectation for good and confidence that no matter what happens we have the faith, strength and courage to get through it.

Our journey, the path that we make while walking, goes forward, one step at a time, one day at a time, and every moment holds a treasure waiting for us to unwrap it. If we are living in the moment, expecting to find treasures along the way, we will surely find them, as we let the peace that only comes from our Creator, be our guide, our decision-maker.

May your every day be filled with to overflowing with peace, joy, and inspiration!
