The Song of Our Heart…
I love my new foot jewellery… they are pink and sort of crocheted; I picked them up yesterday from our Gatwick address and I have worn them ever since… All the delights of shoe shopping and the fun of fashion for the feet whilst still feeling the earth beneath my soles.
I tried out my new vibram fiv
e fingers today too around Grovelands Park… I purchased them with the ‘ouchie est’ paths in mind …
On putting them on, I discovered how much more fluent my running has become in the last year; and I also discovered that my feet no longer like wearing ‘clothes’ and so they asked that I take them off after a couple of miles – of course I listened – I took them off and carried them on my hands instead…
However to assist me when I want to run on an ouchie path, I believe they can help… But my feet now are free and want to stay that way…
I didn’t fully know this til today.
Another thing I didn’t know is that I would attract a following of people who ‘love feet’… One of my YouTube followers asked me today…
‘How do you feel about people with foot fetish watching your videos’?
I responded…
‘I don’t mind who watches my videos; My intention is to share and give something, and as long as I am integral with myself all is well… I love people and have worked in the lives of others all my life, and I understand human beings well…’
And that is it really and truly… When we make art, when we share, create, make music – write, play sport, dance, sing… When we communicate ourselves through our creative endeavours… Once the song of our heart is ‘out there’, in whatever form, it no longer belongs to us…
It belongs to the world and how the world receives it, interprets it…What the world does with it, the world will do.
As long as we keep centred in ourselves and we clear the way for our authentic expression to emerge, then all is well…
And so my ‘Soles journey’ will keep unfolding and taking me who knows where…? My feet will carry me, and the road will reveal itself…
Trust the path…
This is the only thing we must do, keep responding to our inner voice and following where it leads, and the song of our heart will start to sing, more and more clearly, louder and louder until it is heard all over the world!
I have been running all of my life – it feels I was born to run. In the running step I experienced freedom and my true expression. I came to see that I needed to ‘get out of the way of myself’ and let my energy flow through the running step; allow it to express itself in the dance and the motion of running. I ran for England and GB for some years. My first international was in 1979, a three mile cross country race; and I continued to run at international level until 1993. Two of my best results were first place in the Dublin City Marathon in 1985 and 7th place woman, 3rd British woman in the 1986 London Marathon in a time of 2.36.31, which gained me selection for the Commonwealth Games.
As a little girl I ran barefoot for many years, and then I put on shoes to race around the world. Fifty years later I am travelling the world as a nomad with my husband Anadi and I have taken off my shoes and I am running barefoot again….
