You may never
step in the same river twice,
but it feels
all too familiar
to tread water.
We’re up to our knees
and it seems
we’ll be bogged-down
for a while.
You must accept
that if you get down and dirty,
you’re bound to leave
some footprints.
Press on, press on —
the adventure doesn’t end
because our shoes are scuffed,
our pants
caked with dirtclods,
our hair more mussed
than when we just woke up.
The world is your canvas,
and you are equal parts
artist and explorer-
this morning is a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
to simply live.
Just make sure,
upon your return,
that you don’t track any mud
on your clean carpets.
There’s a time and a place
for that.
The File Pile 
We should always walk so as not to be afraid of leaving tracks. Very well written.
