Footsteps and Concrete

There he walks, the little child, plodding along.

One step, hundred steps, a thousand steps.

Plodding, on and on, neverending.

Where is he going?

. . .

As I look around me, all I see is concrete, dried grass and dead leaves.

All around me is death and destruction. Void of any life.

Then, at last - sign of life!

Shades of green, shades of white.

… It was a potted plant.

From my apartment and to the Sam’s Club entrance off Great Hills Trail, the sidewalk is split into concrete sections.

These sections are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 8 strides long.

I don’t know what that translates to in terms of meters or feet - but it works well enough for me.

I prefer the even-stride ones, because I can start each new section with the same foot. This brings order to the chaos of the universe, somehow.

And that is good.
