Autumn walking

Visible to anyone in the world
Our feet
Crush the dead.

Me in a rare cheerful mood

New comment

I used to wonder whether there was anywhere on the planet where we could plant a foot that nobody had ever stood before.

Then I read how Newton said he stood on the shoulders of giants.

If our ancestors are the ground beneath our feet, it is supportive to know that.

But we can look onward and upward knowing the sky is no longer the limit, now there are footprints on the Moon.


This may only be our Spring.

I think there is something sacred about a footprint. Here's a video of some really ones that were briefly visible on a Norfolk beach early last year.
