Some thoughts about shoes and life...
Shoes take one on such an amazing journey through life; days
marked by strolls along the beach or running carefree through the grass and
nights which culminate in dancing until the wee hours of the morning…usually
until your feet hurt. Life taking the
moments from each step and converting them into memories that we shall cherish for a
lifetime.
But there are steps…missteps
we’d like to forget. Those rare
occasions when our pretty pumps or new shoes veer us from our intended
destination, and instead we are left wandering, even meandering through our
journey; had we paid attention to the signs:
a broken heel, a blister on our foot or the untied lacers which caused a trip
and subsequent fall –each diverting us from that fateful course yet still we
ignore the obvious and chose to venture down a path not meant for our feet to
tread.
It is at these times we ask ourselves, ‘How on Earth did I
get here?’; knowing full well the
course and consequence of our actions, but being too close to the situation to
see the bigger picture until we have reached that point where we are down trodden
and still unable to stand or stand up for ourselves in those broken heels,
unable to walk or walk away because of that painful blister and unable reach
the lacers or reach out to tie lacers because that fall left us hurt.
It is at these moments, which are hopefully few and far
between, that we see who we really are and are faced with the decision to keep
on those shoes that we are wearing and continue down the spiraling destructive
path which will inevitably lead to our own demise (whether it be theoretical or
actual), or instead put on another pair of shoes (perhaps not as flashy or as new,
and maybe even not our own) and pull ourselves up by the proverbial boots
straps, change direction, set a new course and get back on the path we were
intended to walk down…
