A mile in her shoes....

Been trying to understand for years now, why you do the things you do, and why or how you walk the way you do......and then I figured if I put on your shoes maybe I'll find out....So i did walk in your shoes for a few days.... what an experience I had:)...

When I put my feet into your shoes before even starting to walk in them, I noticed how different they felt from the shoes I've worn before...They were comfortable but yet  a little itchy....

Then I started to walk in them, I could see how you could wear them everyday, you can run, jump or dance with them....

What got me is how much itchy they felt when I stopped moving while wearing them...then I understood why you always feel the need to be on the move all the time, because it is comfortable for you that way...

But then I decided to take a different route.... a walk on a pile of thorn and I suddenly felt the need to walk slowly and quietly...

You dwell on your pain and you keep it to yourself.....I kept on walking

Then I heard a joke which would have made a room full of people crack with laughter including me but I didn't, instead in your shoes my toes felt all tingly and I only giggled....you smile with your eyes always, it felt beautiful and pleasing in your shoes....

As I carried on with my journey towards the end of the mile, I ran into a crowd of people and I couldn't move almost as if I was paralysed.......too much of anything is just too much for you....

I decided to take a stroll on the tar road, however it was not much of a stroll because Iwalked so fast like I couldn't wait to get out of it, I couldn't help but notice how much it felt like I was walking on flames....I guess easy smooth ways of living are not your style...

At the end I walked on the gravel, and that was where I wanted to walk so slowly and harmoniously, not because it pained me but because I wanted to savour the last of that mile, no matter how bumpy or dusty it was....I did it because it felt so great and satisfying in your shoes..........And then I thought, challenges are the things that define you the best.
