On Life's Journey

ON LIFE'S JOURNEY...
some leave dark shadows dissuading others to follow
some leave their footprints so that others would go
some make a road for others not to get lost
but i will leave to you my SHOES so that even I have gone
...i could still be with you 
===
for a good hike, a good a pair of good shoes is a must. giving it away to somebody is a real sacrifice.

===
this morning, i realized that some leave for a journey to catch a rose:

"it is always raining roses everyday... but there's only one in a million roses that you will catch and leave others behind. what the catcher would choose could be meaningless for us, but for the catcher... it could be his world, it could be his everything.

go, my dear catcher... go with your everdearest evanescent rose now. we know that its petals will soon wilt and will soon die... but i know what you have caught and what you have embraced with your whole life...is a glimpse of eternity in a moment that is dying... is a glimpse of the face of God in a moment that is ending." denmar
