Take off your busted and your worn

For a moment

take off your busted flip flops

your worn shoes

Slip off your boots, wiggle your toes

Inhale that purity of freedom on your tired feet

Let go of all that wore down those soles

those straps, those laces

No need to forget all learned from it

but okay to set it aside for a moment

Shed the skin and soak in the nakedness

of just being.

    Thanks, Jen. That one “talked” to me. I’ve had some bad days and many worn out soles lately. I always enjoy your musings. Carol

    I liked how this made me feel. I did indeed take off my sandals as I read it and pondered the metaphor, then read it again. Thanks for sharing cool Jenifer.
