At points in time along their walk through the Fields of Gold, the BabyGirl would let go of her Daddy’s hand and run back about twenty feet on the trail, taking her time to walk in the footsteps she had just recently made.
After seeing her do this several times on their journey, her Daddy finally asked her why she retraced her steps.
“It’s because I want to remember where I’ve been and how I got where I am now,” the BabyGirl answered him.
“It sounds like you want to relive the past,” her Daddy said with a tone that made clear he was putting her through a test.
“There’s nothing wrong with reliving the past, Daddy. Is there?” she asked with an innocence to her voice. “Especially if it was your past that was the teacher who led you to where you are now.”
“Very good, BabyGirl,” her Daddy said with a broad smile.
“But I don’t relive the past when I retrace my steps,” she said with a twinkle in her eye. “Knowing that you are at the end of those footsteps, waiting for me, I’m reliving the future.”
