Leave No Trace

Isn't that what we're all afraid of?

That we will leave no trace?

That we will strut on this stage

for our seventy or eighty years

and then disappear without a trace?

No trail of bread crumbs to lead us back?

Or to lead others along our path?

 

Oh, what ego cloaks us when we think this way!

There is more to this business than we can know;

more than we acknowledge.

 

Not that I have the answers, either.

But I know other worlds and realities

accompany us along this journey,

and that we are leaving traces,

even the least of us,

in ways we cannot fathom

(nor are we meant to).

 

Forget about what you leave behind

and just do your best

(be your best)

in the moments you have.

The rest will follow

as the proverbial night the day.
