fear at Nike
fear at Nike
terror at Converse
trouble in the psyche
it could get worse
how can we put
how will this end
Sasquatch barefoot
starts a trend
eyes wince
hearts pound
the silence
of skin on the ground
like a theft
by those paradoxes
new shoes left
in their boxes
it is a shocker
for one and all
no more Foot Locker
at the mall
Phil is mental
full of fright
refuses to go gentle
n2 that good Knight
a dreaded doomsday
a devastating storm
who's going to pay
for Oregon's uniforms
I know. It did not take us long to get back to the world of goofy. If you have not figured it out by now it is kind of how we roll in this blog.
I grew up in a holler in Appalachia. I remember my mom telling us the first morning of summer after school let out to “get out there & toughen up your feet.” And we would spend most of our summer walking & running around barefoot. I still remember the sensation of pulling a honey bee’s stinger out from between my toes. And I have very fond memories of buying a pop(usually a Coca-Cola in a glass bottle) & candy bar for 25ยข at my grandfather’s country store. Then my brother or sisters & I along with a gang of our cousins would walk barefooted back up a dirt road to our houses. And for some reason I can still vividly remember how the red clay mud used to squish up between my toes during or after a flash flood. There is a phrase that I have often heard repeated. We had it made and we didn’t even know it.
I did a quick check on the internet after I wrote this poem to check on bigfoot & running shoes. Brooks actually has a short time promotion. It is called Sasquatch Run Collection. But to me their picture of a Sasquatch looks more like a dogman or maybe even the Seattle Seahawk emblem. It definitely could be on a PNW totem pole. And I am pretty sure that is what they were going for. I also found several pairs of shoes for sale on Amazon. But it didn’t seem like any of them had sold.
When you start reading about the bigfoot phenomenon. You will start to see a lot of material about meditation and our connection to the earth. There is a wealth of information on the internet about the positive health benefits of walking barefoot on the earth. I would encourage you to google The Health Benefits of Going Barefoot on Earth.
I have come across a couple of lines of thought that think that bigfoot draws power and nutrition straight from the earth. There are also lines of thought that think he can draw it from electric sources. That is usually coupled with examples of so many sightings near power lines or sources of electricity. And the fact that a lot of researchers have their batteries drained is also cited.
some housekeeping
A lot of people have asked me about navigating on the blog on their mobile devices. When you get to the line that says Blog Posts if you tap the arrow on the right it will take you back to the very 1st post on the blog. But if you tap on Blog Posts on the left side it will take you to the most recent post. I hope that helps.
In this blog we have talked about bigfoot drawing power from the earth. I hope you learn how to draw power from the earth. And I hope you learn how to draw power from your own smile & that other people get to see your smile & draw power from it as well. And may what all of you draw be a thing of beauty. Maybe even a Flash!
