Beautiful Day! or Bare feet and Spring time
Monday, March 27, 2006

It is a lovely day today. It was sunny and warm and just a teeny bit breezy. It was perfect.

I got to go out barefoot today and feel the grass between my toes. And I went and sat in a tree and read for a bit. I love feeling the bark at my back and smelling the growing things. There's a special smell to spring. It's like you can smell everything waking up. It's similar to the way the world smells after a really good rainstorm but more subtle, quieter I guess. I don't know if any of this makes any sense or if I'm just rambling.

Like I said, it was also warm enough to go barefoot. I've really missed going barefoot outside. This is one reason that I love River, her afinity for bare feet. I've been a barefoot nutcase my whole life. When I was little my mom had a rule saying that I couldn't go without shoes until the dandelions started to pop. Otherwise I was just as likely to freeze my toes off on ground that was still frozen even if the snow was gone.

I just love to feel the earth beneath my feet. Or whatever surface I happen to be walking on. It makes me feel more stable. It's a connection to the earth beneath me I guess. I don't know how to describe it really.

I'm a really tactile person. I love to feel things and to touch them. With my hands, with my lips, with my feet. Dirt, mud, grass, stone, bark. I just love how they all feel on my bare feet.

So I guess this about bare feet and experiencing nature and the world around you.
