I do realize Earth Day was recognized on April 22, 2010 - guess my memory is truly failing. Nah! I simply hadn't checked my e-mail yesterday afternoon when I received the following:
When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.

So go ahead, lace up and pucker up (sorry, couldn't resist).
Peace,

PS yeah, you can slip on your loafers, slippers, croqs, flip-flops and what-have-you
