A Poem.

Some of you asked what my tattoo (here) says. It is a Spanish poem by Antonio Machado, by far one of my favorites poets. The poem is called "Caminante" and the line I have tattooed says in Spanish "Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar"

Here is the full poem in English:

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.

Do you have a favorite poem or poet? I am always searching for new authors and material to read.
