Where Your Bare Foot Walks…

The feet of a master have been associated with his connection to the ground and as such there is a certain gratitude and reverence for them to connect us with the higher realms here on this earth.

In this painting, I tried to capture this connection of the sacred with the earth, water, and air, and standing on the ground while also being elsewhere. I feel the poem by Rumi enhances those sentiments of reverence.

––––––

I want to be where
your bare foot walks,

because maybe before you step,
you’ll look at the ground.
I want that blessing.
(Rumi)
