by Antonio Machado
Wanderer, your footsteps are

and upon glancing back
one sees the path
that must never be trod again.
Wanderer, there is no road--
Only wakes upon the sea.

5) List 5 concrete, measureable steps that will help you get closer to acheiving these creative/professional goals:
6) What are 2 things that make you happy that you can start doing every week for yourself?
