In His Steps

Cement is not meant to be walked in! However, these steps and pawprints reflect the love and faithfulness of this dog for its master which is saved for posterity! In the old carol about Good King Wenceslas, we see the monarch and his page stepping out in harsh cold weather to show kindness to a household in poverty.

Love is a ‘many splendored thing’!  So it was described in the book, film and song of 1955 but what did they mean?  People have been trying to work out what love means from the very beginning!  Boy meets girl and ‘lust’ pretends to be ‘love’.  Whereas lust surfs on the crest of the wave until it crashes spent on to the beach, love moves steadily in the depths with the strength of a whale.  The world promotes shallow definitions and poor imitations of love:

  • ‘I love fashion, and I love changing my style, my hair, my makeup, and everything I’ve done in the past has made me what I am now. Not everyone is going to like what I do, but I look back at everything, and it makes me smile’ – Victoria Beckham
