This site, I've decided, will become a journey into a world tread barefoot.  However, when I say barefoot... I don't just mean without shoes.  Being barefoot means much more to me, it reaches deep within me, and is... in some way... ME.

So why Barefoot?  Here are just a few of the many reasons I choose to be so...

1. When barefoot, one walks more slowly and vigilantly; reluctant to step on anything which could be harmful.  Naturally, this makes it less likely for one to cause harm to anything else.
2. Walking is normally seen as a means of getting from one point to another.  Walking barefoot naturally causes one to slow down and be more mindful of each simple step.  This is an easy way to become patient.
3. Shoes these days are incredibly costly, and more than likely have been put together by less then admirable means.  Being barefoot is a simple step toward a more simple and frugal life; as well as a compassionate protest towards minority labor.
4. Being that shoes are mostly made from rubber and leather, being barefoot is a way to not only compassionately protest big oil but also peacefully stand up for animal rights.
5. The feet have millions of sensory receptors in the toes and soles.  Imagine how much of life you miss by simply wearing shoes!
6. In almost all religions throughout the world, when one is said to be in the presence of the divine... one is to take off their shoes.  Being that I believe we are constantly in the presence of the divine... I choose to take off my shoes.
