FOOTSTEPS OF THE FUTURE
Footsteps. Moving from the past in a sometime circuitous route around obstacles through deep valleys of grief and over high peaks of elation. Footsteps. Tracing the history of life from birth to old age. In constant motion. Propelling us into the unfamiliar and returning us to the solace of memories visited long ago. Footsteps. Always static. Never dormant. Our footsteps. Cherish those from our history as they become the footsteps of our future. Savor them. Engrave them on the heart. Remember the footsteps of the past. But do not disregard the footsteps of the future. Our future. Our footsteps. Our history.FOOTSTEPS OF THE FUTURE

- Well thought out Sherlock, yes if we don't heed our past we won't know where we are going. If we don't learn from the past mistakes of ourselves and others we will be certain to repeat them. If we don't remember the love we have been given in the past, how can we know how to love in the future? Blessings, Whiskers
