go barefoot

I’m now more comfortable without shoes than with. I’m okay walking on rough asphalt and fine gravel, and often leave the house without even thinking about shoes. I’d say I’m a bonafide barefooter.

I managed a stress injury on one foot last year, and the pain was so bad when I was walking home one night that I had no choice but to take off my shoes. It was raining that night…my god what a fabulous feeling! I had never even noticed all of the different textures before but they became a distinct pleasure sans footwear. The snow has just melted now and I’m not going to miss a thing this year. I also apologize to my lovely feet for keeping them imprisoned for so many years.
