Shoes

This week's theme was shoes.  I really wanted shoes that told a story. My first thought was a homeless persons shoes, then upon discussion with my best friend, her husbands army boots he wore in Iraq. Unfortunately she lives in Atlanta, so getting those boots in time just wasn't possible. I really wanted to do a juxtaposition of his worn down solider shoes with his daughters shoes. PERFECT. Yet again, lack of time has left me with something not nearly as impacting. 

However, these shoes still tell a story. My story. Well a few chapters at least. Tied up in their laces are the memories old friends, late nights, college, vet teching, five points, bike rides, long drives, dancing, local music shows, a few random jobs, a few random characters, borders, bad coffee shop poetry, and seeing those two lines on a stick. The list goes on and on. Old souls these shoes. They really take me back. Boy, have I come a long way since these were shiny and new.  I suppose I should get rid of them...but just like a well hidden old photograph they're always a joy to stumble upon. Maybe next year. 

Like mysteries? I never know what I'll find when I click over to the next blog. What's it gonna be!? Click HERE to visit my friend Renee's blog, and see what shoes look like through her lens. Keep following the links to finish the circle. No shoes required.
