Of Footprints and Paths
No, this isn’t a rehash of the famous Christian art work / poem “Footprints in the Sand.”
I was thinking more of how we go through life. Each of us leaves a mark – a trail of footprints – that show our course.
I think of Adolf Hitler. He left a clear trail of deep footprints, but [...]
