Familiar Footprints

Coming home from work today I could see the previous tracks of my footprints in the snow. They led back and forth across the sidewalks, parking lots and grassy intervals along my path to home. Often mixed together with many others or merging with my own, sometimes tracing a solitary path. And I began to wonder how many times I had walked this same path and how many times I would do so again. Are the destinations on either end of this path as static and predictable as the pathway between?
They say it's gonna snow tonight. Might get 4 or 5 inches. I'll welcome the snow for a change. It'll give me a chance to make some fresh tracks.
