I think the adage – walk a mile in my shoes – is a more than worthwhile idea to contemplate. I believe this one activity alone could change the entire world. Can you really imagine what life would be like, feel like, to be in another’s shoes? Not with all of your current privilege and personal history…but with theirs?
It is a great spiritual activity to imagine this very thing. It causes my heart to soften, my eyes to open and for compassion to blossom. It is the start of the realization that all of creation is one living, moving wave of energy.
Walk a mile in my shoes. Not so you understand…but so that you soften. It is there, in a softened heart, where the world is changed. It changes because you change. You become one with all that is.
With great humility
