New Shoes
One of the nicest
gifts that ever landed my way was a pair of Ky boots. While en route to the farm retreat at
Saranagati, Ned, Nitai Priya, and I stopped at Langley for a session with Trish,
who runs ‘The Core Store.’ I was not
allowed to inquire into the price of these remarkable shoes, which I picked up
and placed on my ailing feet-- well, at least the left leg has been aggravating
me.
The donor, Abhidheya,
whom I've known from Ontario since the eighties, projected the power of her
heart by this kind gift. When doing
marathon walking the whole body is precious, especially the feet.
Trish, the
salesperson, was not really out to sell me the shoes. The company, Ky Boot, born from a 'genius'
(as Trish put it), is putting out a product that is about caring for the
consumer. What can I say? I stepped into these shoes, walked around in
them and they gave the sensation of moving on air. It is a kind of magic carpet.
Trish, also confirmed
for me something I'd believed in for so many years. Footwear with major arch support is not
advantageous. It weakens parts of the
sole, hence it may even weaken your soul if your walking is for spiritual
purposes.
My initial response
to this new acquisition is most favourable and I thank Abhidheya, Trish, and
especially Karl Muller of Switzerland, the inventor of an amazing piece of
technological wear: for the feet. When
you read the books of our guru, Prabhupada, feet are referenced thousands of
times. Feet are important.
May the Source be
with you!
