Standing on your own two feet

The exploration of how we use our feet speaks to issues of security, self-support, and self-sufficiency. In the physical world, the ground is our ultimate support and it is through our feet and legs that we experience that support. Independence requires support. Without the support of the ground, our legs would be useless. Independence does not mean that we cannot depend on anyone else. On the contrary, we need stability in order to receive support, In what ways do you stand on your own two feet? In what ways do you “take a stand”? In your desire to be independent, do you still allow support? A firm foundation underneath us allows an integration of independence and support and lets us better under-stand whatever we are dealing with.
