I have a dream that one day there will be no importance placed on what kind of shoes a person walks in.
Let the lawyer and the homeless man swap the hand-sewn wingtips for the hand-wrapped duct tape sandals and…
walk for day.
Let the teacher trade his leather loafers with a student for his canvas skater shoes and…
walk for a day.
Let the athlete give her shoes to the cripple in exchange for her wheel chair…
and walk for a day.
When the day is done appreciate the steps the other person takes, the blisters they form from the miles they trudge, and the journey they walk…
in their shoes.
Every Martin Luther King, Jr. Day my daughters and I honor his memory by writing a "I Have a Dream" of our own. Recently, I have noticed people's shoes. It's amazing what you can tell about a person by the shoes they wear.
