It just that, sometimes we might relate to the experience of the shoe…
                                               …and, sometimes not.
 
What do I mean by that?
            Well, it seems to me that people react differently to shoes.
 

Some people, upon seeing a particular pair of shoes, love them.

Some might purchase eight pairs of the same shoes.

Others might detest the same pair of shoes.

It is conceivable that still others might fear a particular pair of shoes.

A few people, sometimes, might simply enjoy the presence or being of the shoes.
They might appreciate the shoes; they might enjoy the essence of the pair of shoes.

 

Is the pair of shoes, then, drawing its reactions?
            This seems unlikely; the shoes are more than likely just being shoes.
            Rather, it seems that we learn different things about shoes.
 

Sometimes we learn to enjoy shoes as a shoes…

…at other times we might mistake the shoe for something else.

Interestingly, we need always to have first learned that the shoe is a shoe.

 

Not all of us are at the same place in our awareness all of the time, I think.
Sometimes our awareness, headspace, or unconscious thinking habit differs from another person's. That is the essence of it.

 

Sometimes our consciousness attracts what we desire.

Sometimes our awareness is a little bit murky.

Sometimes, we are active participants in our relationships with the world. Sometimes, we are not.

Sometimes, it is just not totally about us. Sometimes, it is.

 

Poor shoes. (Sigh.)
            At least we are, yet, in a better place than the shoe.

We can introspect and therefore, whatever our position, we can begin to change our circumstance.

We can begin to work from within.
