Often when I'm hiking, I see trail markers that people have left. Usually they're fairly nondescript, composed of small rocks gathered from the trailside. Sometime they indicate direction, reminding hikers to stay the course, keep climbing, move right along; but other times they just seem to send a more subtle message from the hikers who created them to the world - I've been here. Please remember me. I think, if we're honest with ourselves, we all want to leave our mark on the world. Maybe your mark will be bold and maybe it will be subtle. But whatever it is, make sure that it's true to YOUR course, your direction, your purpose. And know that often times, your mark might be discovered by people long after you've left it. Impact isn't always immediate, or glorious, or proud. But if it's genuine and heartfelt, then it's always important.
