My kids and I were taking a walk on the beach and noticed that some footprints are more distinct than others. Some birdprints are distinct like this, and sometimes they are just indistinct scratches. Some people leave heavy distinct shoe or foot prints, and some leave hardly any trace at all, depending on their weight and their sole (soul?).
It made me think about life, and the kind of “footprint” we are leaving. If you go into the State and National forests these days, they want you to “leave no trace”.
Am I leaving a footprint? Is it large and distinct?
How do I want to be remembered? What do I want to be remembered for?
I want my footprint to be distinct and, not necessarily huge, but large enough to be remembered. I want to make a difference to my children, to my friends and family, and to those who read my words or see my creations. J
