“Why do you dance barefoot?”

“Why do you dance barefoot?”
The movements of a dancer are the brilliant manifestation of the soul. One curious woman asked, “Why do you dance barefoot?” The dancer replied, “I believe in the beauty of the human foot as if it were a religion.”

Just as with all animals, humanity started by walking barefoot. We walked, ran, and danced barefoot. Sometimes, when I practice walking meditation barefoot, I feel an inexplicable urge to dance. The movements of nature, the expressions of the soul, come naturally. As civilized beings, we can’t be fully bare, but by being barefoot, we attain the freedom of the soul.
