Items lost, hero's put to rest. Things stay the same and change. Familiarity makes us feel confident, loved and sure of ourselves.
The voice of Walter Cronkite will forever be etched in my mind. An icon forever. Someone will take his place and life goes on. Slowly he will disappear from our memories like leaves falling off trees. Like dust in the wind. Spring brings new life and new buds.
Wedgies, clogs, water buffalos, high top sneakers and - my favorite Crocs. http://www.crocs.com/ Falling into the great pit of oblivion. A fad no longer fashionable. Something else will replace them and they will become just a passing memory. I have since moved on to 'fitflops'. http://www.fitflopsandal.com/ They will not collect dust beneath my bed but will forever keep the 'under the bed monster' away from me.
A mainstay that hopefully will never go away are 'Kinos'. http://www.kinosandalfactory.com/sandals.html
What is the correlation between a hero - Walter Cronkite and a pair of shoes? Security, freedom and a sense of knowing who you are and what molds you.
