Wooden shoes hardly seem like a great idea for one's feet. A few thousand people in and around Holland continue to wear them regularly. These are people who work in swampy grounds and in farms. Needless to say, these shoes offer protection. I can picture myself wearing wooden shoes, trudging through swampy farms and I wonder how much strength it would take for me to pull my foot out of the mud, LIFT IT up, not leaving the wooden shoe stuck in the swamp and take the next step forward. I think I can imagine what this guy from STOMP featured in the brand ID film for Dolby
( played before many movies in most theatres ), walking on painted black drums must feel. Now, THAT is a guy who would want to be in someone else's shoes!
While in Amsterdam, a bright idea struck! Today the idea stands "acted on", has seen the light of day and makes us immensely proud! We paid a a bomb buying 4 large-sized wooden shoes from a shoe factory. With no heed to how they might be packed in suitcases bursting at the seams and the weight they shall add to our baggage! I am glad we didnt think much.
This is what we have done with the shoes.....They are now in my balcony....and it is the prettiest change in our house this Diwali!
As of today morning, each of them plants in each of those shoes has pink, yellow, white and orange blossoms. It was the FIRST time I wished someone (HAS to be a kind soul, or someone who CANT say NO ) was going to Amsterdam and I could ask for 4 more shoes! I am on the lookout.
This Diwali, my Balcony found its shoes :)
