" Forget not

 that the earth delights

 to feel your bare feet

 and the winds

 long to play 

with your hair.  "

Khalil Gibran

" Keep your eyes

 on the stars, 

and your feet

on the ground.  "

Theodore Roosevelt

 

" Heaven is under our feet 

as well as over our heads.  "

Henry David Thoreau

"  I have spread my dreams

 under your feet; 

Tread softly 

because you tread

 on my dreams.  "

William Butler Yeats

" Ah, the patter of little feet

 around the house. 

There's nothing 

like having a 

midget 

for a butler.  "

W. C. Fields

Today I'm enjoying

the fact that I am not

limping anymore.

What happened

is not important.

It was minor,

and on the mend..

It's amazing

how the body knows

the ways to favor injuries

without thought

on our part.

As the injury mends,

the limp changes

along with it.

Today I am

remembering how to walk

without a limp;

A limp,

or a flinch,

 can become

a habit

you know.

What other stories

does my body tell?

Do my shoulders still

hunch

with a shame,

or fear,

or reticence

that my mind

long since

 let go of ?

" Life is very sweet

just walking down the street-

not all of us

can use our feet. "

Just for today

let's celebrate

overlooked, common

miracles

such as walking,

breathing,

a companion,

solitude.

" You have brains in your head. 

You have feet in your shoes. 

You can steer yourself

 in any direction 

you choose. 

You're on your own, 

and you know

 what you know. 

And you are the guy 

who'll decide where to go.  "

Dr. Seuss
