Footprints that Glow

Footprints that glow
Most people leave footprints that are simply an impression that is left either on the ground of the earth or if in a home on the carpet. If one were to inspect on a close level, dust and dirt would be evident on the footprint and on the associated shoes. That is the way it is with most people. There are tracks remaining, but they serve little value and usually need to be swept clean.

But I know of one person who leaves special footprints where ever he walks. The footprints he leaves are surrounded by light. The footprints that this person leaves are like trails for others to follow. His footprints are actually inspirations to others. Of course, I don’t mean literal physical footprints; rather I am speaking of the impressions made by contact with this person.

This person brings value to any conversation and leaves you feeling better than when he came. This person gives you insights and perspectives that helps you in life. This person is honest and lives his beliefs. This person knows that there is more to life than the physical. This person brings his body, mind and soul together. He understands that worldly things have no real value. He sees the bigger picture. He brings joy and help to others. He talks of inspiration and he walks the talk.

Those who know him are very fortunate. By the way, did I mention that his name is Sukij Yongpiyakul? For all who know him, they say clearly that it is their good fortune to know him.

Sukij's footprints serve as pathways, and they glow, because they are filled with light.
