Shoe fetish

I'm finding it really difficult to write lately. Instead, I'll offer some pictures and some words from others. Forgive me.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one. Martin Heidegger

They'll cough in the ink to the world's end;  Wear out the carpet with their shoes  Earning respect; have no strange friend;  If they have sinned nobody knows. The Scholars, W.B.Yeats

It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe. Rodan of Alexandria

A little neglect may breed mischief: for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for want of a horse the rider was lost. Benjamin Franklin

The policeman buys shoes slow and careful; the teamster buys gloves slow and careful; they take care of their feet and hands; they live on their feet and hands. Psalm of Those Who Go Forth Before Daylight, Carl Sandburg

"And when you met, you found his eyes were always on your shoes,   As if they did the talking when he asked you for the news." Stafford's Cabin, Edwin Arlington Robinson

"I can't keep track of other people's daughters.   Lord, if I were to dream of everyone  Whose shoes I primped to dance in!" The Housekeeper, Robert Frost

I look at the swaling sunset    And wish I could go also  Through the red doors beyond the black-purple bar.   I wish that I could go  Through the red doors where I could put off   My shame like shoes in the porch,    My pain like garments

And leave my flesh discarded lying  Like luggage of some departed traveller    Gone one knows not where.    Then I would turn round,  And seeing my cast-off body lying like lumber,   I would laugh with joy. In Trouble and Shame, D.H. Lawrence

People dress and go to town; I sit in my chair.  All my thoughts are slow and brown:   Standing up or sitting down Little matters, or what gown  Or what shoes I wear. Sorrow, Edna St. Vincent Millay

October 12 - this day in history (exmearden tip jar)

In 1960, Soviet premier Nikita Krushchev created a disturbance at the U.N. General Assembly by pounding his desk with his shoe.

There's no place like Docudharma (Edger)

i didn't know shoes could do this (pfiore8)(

"Tiny shoes for a little girl. Doris Mathes. Born June 14, 1942. Gassed Jan. 17, 1944, at Auschwitz. And so died the dreams of her family, her family's family and generations not yet imagined. But in her memory shall be a blessing, a message of tolerance and love spoken with renewed devotion in St. Petersburg."

Reminds me of the good ol' shoes...

Nice post. Thanks for the sharing...

I wonder if anybody thought the same way as well. Anyway, thanks for the article....

Element 4.4.1 Implementation and operations of the OHSAS 18001 standard requires top management of a company to demonstrate its commitment to its occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system by ensuring the availability of resources required to establish, implement, maintain and improve its OH&S management system. These resources, as required, may include human resources and specialized skills, infrastructure, technology and financial resources. To ensure effective OH&S management system, the company appoints a member of top management with specific responsibility for OH&S.
