# Leave no footprints

You are now or never.\
In between you're thrown.\
You are not together.\
You are not alone.

You are not forever.\
Not in space or time.\
You are happening right now\
In between these lines.

You are not your body.\
You are not your mind.\
There's no you in front of you\
And there's no you behind.

There's no you to worry.\
There's no you to hide.\
There's no you inside you\
And there's no you outside.

You are not your future.\
You are not your past.\
You are not the things you make -\
None of them will last.

You were born this morning,\
Next one you'll be gone.\
Great man is one sentence.\
Still greater man is none.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://soulcandy.georgestrakhov.com/leave_no_footprints.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
