Over quite a few years, I’ve put these on quite a few feet – ranging from those on CEO’s to those on homeless folks; and not surprisingly, all feet are pretty much the same.

It has served as a reminder that while we may wear different styles of experience and character, we are all more alike than we are different and we are all prone to failing health in very similar ways as we approach the end of our lives.

I’m sure there are many other things, just like those treaded green socks, that may bring us to a greater realization and potential for humility, from whichever side of the bed we happen to be.

It could have been a subtle moment way before your twenties where you held a hand or shared a furtive hug in a crowd of friends. It could be an innocent handwritten note or letter sent long ago across unwalkable miles and travelling along divergent forks of life.

Decades pass but we all may bring a few such things forward possibly with a greater significance than their absolute brevity would ever belie. It makes me happy.
