I stepped out into the snow today, felt the cold crawl up to my ankles, and walked to the mailbox. I turned to see my footprints pressed deep.
I do exist today; there's proof.
I walk alongside them back inside and when I look again it's like I'm not alone.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Flipping heck. So simple an idea but the feeling here is deep. I think it's going out into the cold first speaks of fragility maybe; then seeing your own footprints as an indicator of your existence is poignant enough but the idea that seeing the two sets makes you feel less alone? That's the kicker, I think.
This invites us to ponder the deeper meanings of life! Amazing 😊✨
