This vibe is thanks to watching the 24 buddhist monk with the dog aloka walking 2300 miles for peace in the states. It is the blessing they bestow on us all who hear of them.

They are very close to my mindset when I was 27 in their barefeet walking mentality and long hikes.

However, I dont condone self inflicted wounds from walking shoeless on pavement but it is something to try at least a couple of times in our lives. These monks are foolish to do this though as they have 2300 miles to walk so they really really need their healthy precious feet. I pray none fo them loses their feet to this extreme ascetic practice of theirs. Faith can make us do crazy things- the world is so crazy, we might as well make sense of it and chose to do faithful crazy stuff too. But we must also take care of ourselves. It is also our sacred duty.
