Feet feet, fabulous feet...

During a recent dance class we were asked to focus on our feet, to notice how they support us, keep us balanced and always catch us when we fall. And of how being barefoot connects us to the earth, reminding us how to embrace the feeling of trusting our feet fully.

I loved this concept and it got me to thinking how feet are such a fundamental yet overlooked element of our being. My mind then drifted to musicians who have mentioned feet in their music, and as it goes, my brain library accessed a few SA feet references...

1. Beautiful Feet - the gorgeous title track and name of the first international album of the gentle, humble and awe-inspiring guitar soloist and singer, Nibs van der Spuy. Just today he released a duo album 'In the shade of the wild fig' together with fellow guitar-maestro and friend, Guy Buttery.

2. Barefoot Hope - a beautiful song, tinged with a gentle African reggae beat, by Trenton and Free Radical shot in a township in Cape Town. The soft light and footage in the video is also wonderful. Watch Barefoot Hope here.

3. Incredible feet - five South Africans have just finished their epic barefoot climb of Kilimanjaro in Kenya, an article in The South African called it 'Climbing Kili Kaalvoet'!

So give some thought to your feet, acknowledge them, appreciate them and mostly, use them! 

Rock on being barefoot,
