Footsteps By Palash
As a baby, I watched my mom and grand mom take
their footsteps and I would always try to follow
them with my baby steps. I copied their style and
followed everything that they did. That became me.
And now, my sons do the same as they follow my
footsteps.
Now, I see my sons growing up into beautiful
human beings and I realize that soon, someone else
will follow their footsteps. I guess this is the Circle
of Life.
This Life...so beautifully knitted into the Web of Life which we all get caught into.
One day while I was at the beach, I walked on the sand and my kids followed me. I realized that our
footsteps are washed off by the water and then someone else’s foot step will later come in there.
I sat and watched the ocean wipe away all traces of footsteps or any impressions left on the sand. The water
always kept the sand clear of marks and impressions so that new ones can be formed. It dawned on me that
life is the same as when we leave our physical body and journey on to the other side.
All our footsteps are wiped out and all that is left is memories of our footsteps. What would follow
becomes new footsteps.
