We leave a stain, we leave a trail, we leave our imprint. Impurity, cruelty, abuse, error, excrement, semen - there�s no other way to be here. Nothing to do with disobedience. Nothing to do with grace or salvation or redemption. It�s in everyone. Indwelling. Inherent. Defining. The stain that is there before its mark.
