A woman I worked with long ago was griping because her feet hurt; she was uncomfortable, but didn't know why. When we looked at her feet, we found she had on two different shoes, one red, one blue -- and different heel heights to boot!!
We've all come to understand that before we criticize another, we must first walk a mile in their shoes. But what if they're mis-matched? On the wrong feet? Belong to different people? Does it clarify or muddy the message?
"despite the condition of the house, they could NEVER say my children went without clean shoes, a place to set on or near the front porch, birds for entertainment or without cable TV!" said Mrs Clamshire.
tho gawd help the children should they ever be locked out, that doorbell is a mite high for the little ones!
When I was at college at SanDiegoState, I went to the beach...unbeknownst to me at the time, it was a nude beach...we were climbing on the tidepools (fully clothed...at least as much as a bathing suit!!!) and this couple walked around the edge of a rock and came into view...he was wearing shoes and a hat... won't ever forget that one!!!
"Ordnung muss sein", as the German frase we learned at school..... or "Everything in it`s place" was what I first thought about,- when I saw this photo.
Mutual admiration society, Margaret. We all see magic in different things. It's fun to point them out to each other. That's art, isn't it? Or one possible definition.

I used to feel bad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet. And I said, "Mister, can I have your shoes?"
