― Mango Wodzak, Destination Eden - Eden Fruitarianism Explained

“We all enter this world as potential barefoot fruitarians. Fruit has that up front mixture of appeals, vibrant colours, the tantalising textures and deliciously sweet flavours that provided corruption and addiction are not already imbued, are instinctively appealing to all children. But alas it's a path few of us are privileged enough, or permitted to embark upon at such an early age. Instead, it rarely takes too long following nascence, before we find ourselves as involuntary shod omnivores. Rarely is such a state of affairs ever cross-examined.”
― Mango Wodzak, Destination Eden - Eden Fruitarianism Explained

“Waves are like friends. Some are big and bold, some not so much. Others come to greet you, while still there are those you have to chase. There are those which are deceiving, as they look good in the beginning, but will betray and crush you in the end. It’s truly hard to know the perfect wave. Only when you are within its folds do you realize it was either a good or bad decision on your part. By that point, it’s either too late or just right.”
― Andrew Pacholyk, Barefoot ~ A Surfer's View of the Universe

My bare feet on the shore busy saving
The calm warmth leaking out of the sand
To let my heart feel peacefully tanned!”

Walking barefoot on the beach
Worn smooth by the sand”

We are all light and happy and far, far away from home.”
― Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich, The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir

“Theo often walked barefoot. He loved the cold ooze of the marsh at his toes. He felt the knowingness of the wild grass against his foot pads. Beneath his growing body, toiling the deep soil, the earthworms wriggled, ruled by the thrum-ming of consciousness reserved especially for their species. The rhythms shot straight to his own body. When he walked barefoot with Shadow, he felt the connection between him, his dog, and the heaven beneath his feet. He felt the connection not only with his dog but with all dogs.”
― Steven James Taylor, the dog

“Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking and can symbolise a way of living - being authentic, vulnerable, sensitive to our surroundings.

It’s a way of living that has the lightest impact, removing the barrier between us and nature.

— Adele Coombs, “Barefoot Dreaming”

“Czy zwróciłeś kiedyś uwagę, jak przyjemnie chodzi się boso po piasku, trawie albo ziemi?Nie bierze się to tylko z ulgi po zdjęciu sztywnych butów albo zrzuceniu wysokich obcasów. Kiedy dotykasz podłoża bosymi stopami, twój organizm otrzymuję dawkę potężnych leczniczych elektronów.”
― Qing Li, Shinrin-Yoku: The Art and Science of Forest Bathing

“Trying to play my part and stay home,
Burying my nose in a book like a gnome,
But I know how Rapunzel felt in the tower
When she wanted to feel the rain shower...
It's like being in your forties out of a fort
When your forte is dancing barefoot...
Instead of being trapped I chose to cut short,
To leave the port,
And not go kaput!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, The Tao of Physical and Spiritual

― Damon Thomas, Some Books Are Not For Sale

“No matter how much you run, or fly or swim, you come back to the land. It’s like as if whatever mud is made up of, it is all beautifully transformed from the seeds that die to begin in the roots, from the roots that expand to grow into a trunk, from a trunk that stretches into branches and from branches that sprout leaves which birth stories before returning to honor the soil once again—just like your body will one day rest for a time in the garden of the Earth—knowing that there will be more stories by others who will follow set paths to find their own.”
― Reena Doss, The Last Leaf Of Autumn: Barefoot and falling, infinity is a number that has none to end

“He looked around the room: the light from outside was laying a big pattern across Goody’s bed and hitting this little rug he had, the kind you use to step out of the shower. The floor itself was made out of those big squares of thinnest-possible linoleum, many of them chipped and broken at the corners; all kinds of hair and shit got stuck down there and ground in over time. A paper clip, a trapezoid shard of an old broken light bulb, a flattened-out piece of gum from the Second World War. Pick made a vow never to go barefoot in this room.”
― Jeff Arch, Attachments

“Begin with me, barefoot, under the almond tree...

wandered the pocket universe
stone-paved,

dyeing the path red,
they were to freeze to death;
lucky to have

thorns in the cuts,
enough to build a campfire.”
― Remy Alberi, The Comprehension Watch

“There is a lot of hazardous information emerging about the earthing health technique and I do not do it, other than walking barefoot in nature, well away from electricity sources.”
― Steven Magee

“It's called; “Grounding or ‘Earthing,” when you walk on the ground, placing your feet directly on the ground without shoes or socks, the earth has an intense negative charge carried by the Earth. This charge is rich in electrons the scientists say. The earth and its soil are full of antioxidants and free radical destroying electrons.

Kick off your shoes sometimes, it’s very calming”
