Leave Only Footprints

Flabbergasted. That's one word that totally described how I felt upon seeing the Valley of Fire State Park at Nevada, USA.

"Dedicated in 1935, Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest state park. It is located only 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old. These features, which are the centerpiece of the park's attractions, often appear to be on fire when reflecting the sun's rays." -http://www.desertusa.com/nvval/

150 Million years old! That is OLD! This splendid landscape witnessed what has happened to this world. This rock formation, so grand and so beautiful is being preserved by the State of Nevada to bring us back to the past, maybe its glorious past and show off its magnificent present.

I come to realize we are really but transients in this world. In a span of few years we are to leave. They, the nature, have yet for million more years to stay . Stay to impress, stay to remind, stay to witness everything men will do to them. Nature is the real owner of this world, we are only to borrow a portion to become personally ours in few decades. We are just humble creations and should not be proud of our accomplishments, but be thankful for the opportunities given to us to be able to enhance other peoples' lives, to be able to bring joy, be able to help, to be able to give love. And as we go, we have nothing to bring with us and nothing to leave to the nature but our footprints.
