These Shoes Are Made For Walkin’…
That’s right, today’s Dreamer Monday post is about shoes–men’s shoes, women’s shoes, kid’s shoes, and even lack-of-shoes.
Now, before all you shoe lovers go crazy, I need to make one very important distinction. Today’s shoe chat is on more of a figurative basis.
*Turns a deaf ear to the massive sighing*
Okay, so here we go… If you could walk in someone else’s shoes–past, present, or future/living, dead, or not alive yet– for just one day, who would it be and why? 
Oh, and if there’s a particular moment you’d like to be wearing those shoes (ie, a pivotal moment in this person’s life), tell us that, too.

Quote of the day from Langston Hughes on dreams:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore–and then run?
Or doe s it explode?

I love this poem from Langston Hughes. My favorite o ne of his is “Mother To Son.”
I would love to have walked in Neil Armstrong’s boots when he walked on the moon, only because I don’t think I’ll get the chance to do so and I would love to point out all areas on earth from up above. Maybe I’ll need to get a telescope for that part.

I like that one, Dru. It would be cool to walk on the moon!
I think I’d opt to fast forward to what I hope will be an older/healthy me. So I could see the joy on my daughters’ faces when they hold THEIR children for the first time.

I’d want to walk in Jackie Kennedy shoes. Before the betrayals, before the shooting, just when she thought she was the luckiest girl in the world to be First Lady – and got to wear all those really cool suits. Or maybe there wasn’t a time like that?
Great question.

Copernicus. Just a few minutes before he started thinking, “Hey, maybe we aren’t the center of the universe, after all.” That one simple thought changed everything that came after. What a rush that would have been!
