There is a part inside many of us

that desires to live on, to persevere

beyond our body’s expiration date,

to continue

beyond time,

to maintain an enduring presence,

to leave, as they say, a mark,

an imprint upon the world,

and to leave it indelibly

and indisputably,

in such a fashion that it will remain undisturbed,

like Neil Armstrong’s footprints on the moon,

with no winds to disturb them

alter them,

modify or erase them

for all time.
