Buddha's Footprint

I remembering wandering around Thailand, almost everywhere I went I encountered "Buddha's footprint". These footprints varied in size as I recall, but the common trait was that all the toes were the same size so it looked like a rectangle.

I wanted to take this picture when Akemi was just born because it was more true then than now. However her toes are still like tiny identical sausage links, and her foot is still somewhat rectangular. From the underside her toes look like little corn kernals.

I wonder if all babies have buddha feet. And if they do, does that mean anything about our original nature... Hmmm. If Akemi cries and I'm at work, does she make any sound? I'll have to ask Silvina.
