A shoe too big.
Sometimes in life, there is no rational justification for taking a particular action. I gazed upon my diminutive feet as they nestled into a pair of oversized shoes. I did it without any particular reason. Stepping into his shoes, I found myself pondering how I would traverse the path he had taken. The shoes were disproportionately large for my feet, yet I attempted to walk in them nonetheless. I took a few steps in its midst, only to stumble and collapse onto the earth. I found myself once more, dusted off my knees, and attempted to stride forward in those cumbersome shoes time and time again. Before I realised it, he approached me and hoisted me by my armpits with his sizable palms, and I sensed as though I was soaring higher and higher, far above the ground. I gazed up at him, and he whispered to me, "Fear not, my son." "Someday, you shall tread upon your own path." Today, I find myself here to take a stroll, yearning for his presence once more to accompany me on this walk.
