I like to walk, touch living mother earth—bare feet best, and thrill every step. used to envy happy reptiles that had advantage of so much body in contact with earth, bosom to bosom. [we] live with our heels as well as head and most of our pleasure comes in that way.

I Like To Walk, Touch Living Mother

I like to walk, touch living mother earth—bare feet best, and thrill every step. used to envy happy reptiles that had advantage of so much body in contact with earth, bosom to bosom. [we] live with our heels as well as head and most of our pleasure comes in that way.

Mother Feet Envy

More From John Muir

Envy is the most universal passion. we only pride ourselves on the qualities we possess, or think we possess; but we envy the pretensions we have, and those which we have not, and do not even wish for. we envy the greatest qualities and every trifling advantage. we envy the most ridiculous appearance or affectation of superiority. we envy folly and conceit; nay, we go so far as to envy whatever confers distinction of notoriety, even vice and infamy.

Envy, envy eats them alive. if you had money, they’d envy you that. but since you don’t, they envy you for having such a good, bright, loving daughter. they envy you for just being a happy man. they envy you for not envying them. one of the greatest sorrows of human existence is that some people aren’t happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.

The combination of such characters, some, as the sacral ones, altogether peculiar among reptiles, others borrowed, as it were, from groups now distinct from each other, and all manifested by creatures far surpassing in size the largest of existing reptiles, will, it is presumed, be deemed sufficient ground for establishing a distinct tribe or sub-order of saurian reptiles, for which i would propose the name of dinosauria.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

Walk and touch peace every moment. walk and touch happiness every moment. each step brings a fresh breeze. each step makes a flower bloom. kiss the earth with your feet. bring the earth your love and happiness. the earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves.

When we walk like (we are rushing), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. we have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet.

If a kiss could be seen i think it would look like a violet,' said priscilla. anne glowed.
