Feet: Inspiration Weekly

I hope my children’s feet will always love the feel of mud,

To never stop walking on dewy grass

– and on a sandy beach.

To kick off their smart shoes and go bare-foot

– whenever they have the chance.

To feel the connection to the earth

– through every flex, step and joint.

To dance without thinking, but simply feel the beat.

To defy gravity and swing from a trapeze.

I hope their feet feel confident to stride out and explore,

To climb great heights, to walk with strength, to step on –

when they think they can’t go on anymore.

And to know, that however far they roam –

their feet can always bring them home.

They can walk and walk –

searching for answers –

but sometimes all they need –

is to kick of their shoes, walk barefoot and feel the ground beneath.

Written for this week’s ‘Inspiration Weekly‘ theme of ‘Feet‘.

This is one of my favourite photographs, though not strictly of feet
– but all those ‘soles’ belonged to different people, once upon a time!
