Poetry: Try Walking Barefoot

Found the poem in this article from ZenHabits. The implications are far wider than shoes. I especially enjoy the advice to "Smile and Breathe."
Empty-handed I entered the world

Empty-handed I entered the world
Barefoot I leave it.
My coming, my going –
Two simple happenings
That got entangled.
~ Kozan Ichikyo

I like the things to consider. Good stuff. The kids and I were on a paddle boat together today just looking through seaweed, finding turtles and fish, and simply enjoying being together.

Walking barefoot with my favorite boys makes me very happy. Besos. :)
