Out With the Old

Out With the Old

It’s not hard to live in denial. It’s the sort of thing that comes in degrees. Mine was of the lowest percentage… more like status quo meets limbo.

I’d spent some time waiting for the other shoe to drop – more than one “other shoe”, to be honest - yet I’d spent nearly as much time trying to lace, and re-lace, them, as I did pretending they’d never fall.

2008 was their year to drop, and they finally hit the floor, but not before giving me a couple of rude kicks upside the head. One lies motionless, already gathering dust. Out of the corner of my eye, the other seems to move, yet appears deceptively still when I look at it straight on. I’m afraid to reach for it. The thought of its imprint still brings tears to my eyes.

Can I make it barefoot through 2009?

The longer one walks barefoot, the stronger the feet get. It's the first steps that are tender.

Holding you in my thoughts Ken.
