K--My Aunt Irene sent me a stack of photos that she had saved from when I was little. I hadn't ever seen this one. When I look at this picture, I can remember how it felt to be barefoot and how my hair felt when I touched it. Such happy memories from when I was 3!
yes, yes. this is beautiful. beautiful because it is a way i've never seen you and beautiful because it has a way of transporting all of us back to a time when we were barefoot.
there's the literal meaning, the physical event...and then there's the symbollic meaning, the transcendant experience we all share.

What a gorgeous picture of you. Gibran must have known this picture was coming when he wrote that beautiful passage.

I wonder at what age did you get your first pair of shoes? I know you basically went without (except for "church shoes") until 1st grade. KT
