This is what it looks like: an impression of a leaf on the sidewalk. It's just a water mark, so once the sun hits it, it'll be gone. But it reminded me of an important truth: our experiences --good, bad and otherwise-- leave impressions on us. Some of them --like the water mark-- are transient; they influence us for a little while, but then fade away.
But others, like a hand print in cement, are more permanent. They're always there, coloring how we view both the world and our experiences and giving us a wisdom that can only be earned through said experiences.
And that knowledge is a blessing.
