• Stubborn Ounces
  (To One Who Doubts the Worth of
  Doing Anything If You Can’t Do Everything)
  By Bonaro W. Overstreet

  
  You say the Little efforts that I make
  will do no good: they never will prevail
  to tip the hovering scale
  where Justice hangs in balance.

  I don’t think I ever thought they would.
  But I am prejudiced beyond debate
  in favor of my right to choose which side
  shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.
  

  Proverbios y cantares XXIX
  by Antonio Machado
  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 back
  one sees the path
  that must never be trod again.
  Wanderer, there is no road—
  Only wakes upon the sea.
  
  Caminante, son tus huellas
  El camino, y nada más;
  caminante, no hay camino,
  se hace el camino al andar.
  Al andar se hace el camino,
  y al volver la vista atrás
  se ve la senda que nunca
  se ha de volver a pisar.
  Caminante, no hay camino,
  sino estelas en la mar.

  "This then is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
  --Dalai Lama
