[hometext] => This is my interpretation of the experiences of everyday life.
[bodytext] => I have often heard the old man talk about the Footprints In Stone and I had often laughed, not beleiving a word he said. Now I have seen the very footprints of which he spoke. Away off in the distance they led. It seemed they knew no end, so I followed, not knowing where. 'T was then I saw the light that I had for so long sought in vain. 'T was then my eyes were opened to the wisdom that is shunned. I continued to follow this road through pain and suffering, through the lives of forgotten men, tortured, abused and made to wish that they had never been born, finally into a world of anger and prejudice aimed at those that are different. In that instant of time, I knew, that I would never be the same for I had caught a glimpse of the beauty that lies within us all. After hours of travel, the end was in sight. There, atop a pillar of stone, lay the goal of my conquest. The Golden Footprint of Understanding, I soon beheld, laying untouched for thousands of years. Thus, I returned, aged with wisdom and wise beyond my years. Many times, I have traveled this road since and each time, the more footprints I have seen. The more I travel this road, the wiser I return. Whenever you look down a path of footprints, that's where you'll find me.
