    Make hay while the sun shines so to speak. Good to act fast, lest one gets left behind!

    Too true. And yet, good in a way. Very good. And serene.

    looks like the right footwear to me, are they your footprints?

    Interesting phrasing! I love the thought of making a new decision while effect of yesterday’s decision is still visible.

    While I dont disagree there is nothing quite like stepping out into an undiscovered world as though you were the first person ever to visit! Living close to the desert you must have a chance to do that!

    Very clever We can get lost if the wind erases all footprints

    Of course! Let us not trudge down those paths that past experience has proven to be the wrong ones!
