Old Shoes Record the Road of Life

Life’s road is never straight; instead the directions senseless; a twisting, turning labyrinth of adventures and challenges. It wears down the spirit, more than the shoes. Dangers faced with support, can breed courage. The road walked alone, can harden the mildest soul; building an unbreakable wall. The façade worn is often mis-interpreted, but the shoes reveal every challenge and hardship. All of the masks we wear; cannot hide the life history, written in our shoes. Like the lines in the face; old shoes fill in the blanks, left after we don, yet another, façade. Old shoes are the portraits, of our journey in life. Don’t throw them away; put them on display and they’ll keep you humble. One should never forget, where they’ve been. It’s in the forgetting, that we fail ourselves. Contemplate where you’ve been, to decide the next turn, you must make.
