(Originally posted with photo(s) at http://dlamini-dlamini.blogspot.com/)I had been neglegent of the experiences of my feet, until I posted this photo on my flickr site with the quote:
"Every detail a pleasure to behold."
to which a friend replied:
"except the pleasure of beholding your feet. :-P " (yes, with friends like these, who needs enemies :) )
...After a little reflection, my response was:
"Consider the journey of this right foot thus far, and you shall see things anew:
walking across grasslands, crossing rivers, scaling rocky slopes, traversing sandy beaches, beating on concrete pavements, knee deep in snow, the eternal staircases, the buses, trains, airplanes, ferries, motor cars, my beloved bicycles, breathtaking elevators, long escalators at railway stations, crossing ancient bridges, a pause on the northern slopes of Mt Carmel,
...that innocent but painful laceration on the right side of the foot by barbed wire during childhood,
...helping obaa-chan with the sweet potato planting, following a herd of cattle all day long, caught in a hailstorm, the athletics sessions, soccer games, sitting through those lectures, the times of worship, waiting below Japanese style tables....
FOOTBEAT!
That's the name of the book. Buy it when I write it."
