Not many images and words flowing from me these days, but I did finally sleep some. Now, I am feeling restless and need to go for a run. So that must be a sign that I'm on the mend.
Thinking about shoes today and how I'm not a big fan of shoes. I love being barefoot ... well, when its practical and sometimes even when its not. Anyhow, I am thinking about feet ... How they carry us where we want to go. They enable us to 'pursue our dreams' in a manner of speaking. Then my thoughts skip to the saying "The shoes make the man." Do people really a judge a man by his shoes? How shallow ... to my way of thinking anyhow. Then the image of Jesus washing Peter's feet (I posted a painting of this story image from the Bible a few days back, in my post labeled "Jury Duty") comes to mind. The latter Bible story really struck a chord with me as a small child and does even now to this day.
I often have dreams where feet are a part of the dream. What does that mean? Just a few days back, I wrote a post about reincarnation and a dream I have had of late that revolves around a pair of stolen shoes. I have also had a recurring nightmare for many years where I am running barefoot through the night and my feet are being cut and badly bruised along the way ... then in the middle of the dream my feet are washed just before the real horror of the nightmare unfolds.
I know 'feet' seem an odd thing to ponder, but at times my mind has a will of its own. Although, I am quite often surprised at some of the profound places my strange pondering ends up leading me. Where will this pondering of feet ... shoes ... go? I haven't a clue. I'm off to go for a run now; I'll let you know if I reach any profound conclusions along the way.
Peace & Love,

Early morning ... It is nearly my magic hour of 3:00 a.m. I seldom can sleep before this time unless I take sleeping pills which I don't like to do. Well after my run, my fingers found a movie centering around the dance of Tango. Very apropos ... Feet dance when the spirit is so moved. Our feet carry us through life and if we are lucky ... fortunate ... enough we get to dance along the way, right? It also occured to me while watching this movie, that dance is perhaps something that can bridge cultural and regional lines or differences maybe? Dance is a language unto itself and a universal language at that? Throughout the ages, and around the globe, are there not countless instances of man engaged in dance? We all share perhaps the inate ability to be moved to motion ... to dance ... when the music moves us.
I have to smile. The universe moves in mysterious ways does it not? Tango anyone?

"Feet
To see your own feet in your dream symbolizes your foundation, stability and sense of understanding. It signifies your need to be more practical and sensible. Keep both feet on the ground. Alternatively, feet represents mobility, independence and freedom. Perhaps you have taken a step in the right direction and are contemplating your goals or your next step. The sole of the foot may be a pun of being or feeling like the "sole" or only support of some person or situation.
Consider also the pun of "putting your foot in your mouth".
To dream that you are washing your feet indicates that others can easily take advantage of you. For Christians, washing your feet symbolizes forgiveness and compassion. If someone is kissing your feet, then it symbolizes humbleness, humility, or devotion.
In particular for the people of India, to dream of the feet may symbolize divine qualities since the feet are considered the holiest part of the body."
