We all leave footprints where we walk in life. Sometimes they last for a long time, but other times they appear to be quickly washed away. Whether they be footprints of permanence, or footprints of a transitory nature, consider the message of the footprints you leave. Are they footprints of fear, anger, and hatred? Or are they footprints of hope, peace, and love?
The city expands before us, as do our hopes and dreams. Dream big dreams, and let the future unfold.
This outcropping in Zion National Park stands tall through time. I see it as the prow of a ship plowing through the ages. May your faith and love be strong and sure, and may it traverse the journey of your life with beauty bringing peace and joy to others.
Sometimes it is difficult to stay on the path. Other times it is easy. Are there "guardrails" that you have established in your life to hold you on the path and protect you?
At the end of this boardwalk the guardrails end and the path is open, allowing one to wander off and explore. Guardrails there would restrict exploration and new learning. Are there "guardrails" you have established in your life that are restricting you from realizing your potential? Each one of the triangle items in the stream causes a ripple. But notice how the ripples are different depending on the depth of the water, the current of the water, and the arrangement of the triangles in the water.
So it is with the human soul. We may all simply be "souls" that leave ripples in the universe, yet the ripples we leave are vastly different from each other. |
