Walking the dog...


Life is made up of many normal 
routine moments,
sometimes these moments
are touched by a sense of eternity.

A simple stone
in a very normal suburban park
reminded me today, during the 
daily dog walk,
of days gone by, and 
of people like me, but 
also unimaginably different 
from me,
who walked in the same park
over a 100 years ago.

My 
freedom,
education, 
and opportunities,
show the years 
that have passed since the 
park began.

Will there be people, 
100 years from now,
walking in this park?
 Will they wonder about us, 
and our strange 
ancient lives?
