>Today was a long and busy day for me and my two sons, >barefoot in the city. First thing in the morning, we >left our modest apartment to set off on our adventure. >The warm asphalt beneath our feet reminded us that >summer had arrived. Despite the absence of shoes, our >smiles were bigger than ever, because we knew that >every step was an opportunity to discover something >new. > >We walked through narrow streets, busy sidewalks and >parks. My sons were curious about everything, stopping >regularly to pick up a shiny pebble or smell the >flowers. Their nimble little feet seemed to get used >to this freedom of movement, and I was delighted to >see them grow up like this, in communion with nature >and the city around us. > >As the day progressed, we passed through busy, noisy >neighborhoods, as well as quieter, more peaceful >areas. With each step, we discovered new sensations >beneath our bare feet: the coolness of the grass and >even the rough asphalt of the shopping streets. My >sons seemed oblivious to any discomfort, concentrating >on the simple joy of living in the moment. > >The day went on, and our feet covered long distances. >We stopped for lunch in a shady park, where the soft >grass offered a well-deserved respite. > >In the late afternoon, we made a detour to a local >flea market. As we explored the stalls, our feet were >confronted with new challenges: sharper pebbles, >rougher paths. But this didn't discourage them - on >the contrary. They continued their exploration, >enthusiastic and intrepid. > >At the end of this memorable day, we headed home with >tired but happy feet. As we cleared the dust from our >blackened soles, I realized how much walking barefoot >brings us a sense of freedom, of connection with >nature and with our urban environment.
