Beyond Traveling Shoes

Afterwards and Before

i.

return to where you've been before
and try to figure out how to store
the many paths shared and memories given
from walking in traveling shoes

ii.

so come back to where you've been before
hang your worn shoes up on the back of the closet door
bring your hopes and dreams with you
and don't let them disapear in the settled stew

iii.

return to where you've been before
committed to something true
share your heart and look to grow
deeper spiraled into something new

iv.

so look back to where you've been before
while forming new shoes to take you on
bridge with your trodden ones and what they hold
as afterwards was before, all will dissolve and unfold

ii. Euginia Falls - Deep enough to revisit every summer. Water in motion connects. Past to Present to Future. Memories held close in the light and those shared for delight - Water in motion connects.

iii. Vasque Legends: Served through 12 years, 5 continents, countless miles, many relationships, forays, discoveries and adventures. They are now happily used for mucking out around the place and in caring for the garden. Slowly dissolving into the very substance of my soles/soul

iv. Vasque (St. Elias) Newborns: Started serving last year, 1 continent, around 50 miles
