sound advise

I heard once on the radio, the type that crackles and sniffs for its own pleasure, Antony Gormley make a simple suggestion in 60 seconds for a way in which to improve our lives. I very much admire the work of this artist and I very much enjoyed his simple suggestion. It was that each of us should more often take the shoes and socks off which house our feet and let them touch the silent and still earth, ground, planet call it what you will, beneath them. For in this way we have for a moment real contact and understanding with who we are and where we are. I think I need to take my shoes off more often.
