Observation
At the end of the road, we’ll look back at the path we walked and hopefully will not only see our own footsteps, but many pairs of footsteps that walked with us at many different points along the way. Some will be hard to see because they will be surrounded by many footsteps. But the important ones will be easy to spot because at the times when the crowd cleared out they were still there walking beside us making deep marks from the weight they helped carry.
Replies by this mask
- Beautiful concept of aging. Gratitude for the younger self, responsibility for the older self. The present self in constant struggle to honor the sacrifices of the young, and do better for the old.
- Who is the real you? The mask or the wearer underneath?
- and yet
Revision
I see only my footsteps on the path for a long stretch, but I was never alone, thanks to all those who walked with me before.
