Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Dear Everyone: -A little oddity to share- I found myself bathing my feet; I mean bathing...feelings of dedication, a ritual dedication, a purposeful careful bathing...a ritualistic dedication and honoring to " my feet " ?; a most certain feeling of preparation and dedication. To me this is odd. I have never done this before. I seldom wear socks, cannot stand closed-toe shoes and walk bare-foot every chance I get. I love to wiggle them in the lush grass and quish them into the mud; they love to explore and be free... but yikes, please don't gaze upon them, and certainly never touch them; that makes me embarrassed and self conscious about their appearance. But I think today I will write an " Ode to Toes " because I cannot place it, but it was much more than the act of washing my feet. Thoughts? Love to you.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 dear danielle, I'll join you in this ode to toes I can relate to your words, I too have a love of being barefoot, walking in grass, squeezing in mud. new shoes are a trauma for me, I get all sorts of blisters and akes, till my feel magnanimously decide to accept the new box I insist on stiking them in! with all these shoes, the use and importance toes can have is easily forgotten. I once herd of a man here in my area that lives barefoot, winter though summer, country or town, he goes everywhere barefoot. he even takes the train shoeless! I love that. I will join you this evening in a foot bathing, though miles an oceans separate us. love to you too, lucia , " iamwaitingmoon " <iamwaitingmoon wrote: > But I think today I will write an " Ode to Toes " because I cannot place it, but it was much more than the act of washing my feet. > > Thoughts? > > Love to you. > Danielle > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 In my christian mysticism group just this last week we had a discussion about the foot washing ritual in the bible. I like what this person had to say about: @@@ Perhaps if people thought more about the symbology of the feet serving as the foundation of movement of their being (way), the life path they have trodden (life), and the truth they have come to understand and be (truth), they could understand the humility of the foot washing as devotion to the Christ within each being. Those who do, can not withold the tears of joy amixed with awe of a love that can not be earned, just unconditionally given through grace.@@@ Love & blessings, Linda , " iamwaitingmoon " <iamwaitingmoon wrote: > > Dear Everyone: > -A little oddity to share- > I found myself bathing my feet; I mean bathing...feelings of dedication, a ritual dedication, a purposeful careful bathing...a ritualistic dedication and honoring to " my feet " ?; a most certain feeling of preparation and dedication.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Namaste, Danielle Your post made me laugh I can relate to wanting to let feet roam free. And in the winters I like to jog barefoot in snow. My little sister has that embarrasement of feet too, I have no idea where it comes from. I think feet are cute. I love my feet and toes! Love to you too!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 If you re read what you just wrote I'm sure your will see the clear message.....:-)) Perhaps the Mother wants you to reclaim the knowledge of the great beauty of your feet, to see them for what they truly are in their wonder and splender. Love your feet, however they look. Know that they are sacred and a gift so that we may experience so much movement, nourishment and life. Hugs and bare feet boogie elektra x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
