I met my friend The Shoe for the first time Nov 28th last year. It was a saturday and I was going to the Dojo for my usual Jutsu practise. He looked like he didn’t belong and was a bit lonely.
Since I visit the dojo 4-5 times a week we soon become “friends”, I nodded to him every time I visited the dojo and after a few days I could see that he was starting to feel a bit more comfortable, and soon he moved into a corner.
In fact, he soon started to feel restless and a few days afterwards he had moved a few centimeters down the road.
Shortly after I had taken this photo, in middle of december, we lost contact, he disappeared – he probably didn’t like the snow that started to fall. And I though I had lost my friend, The Shoe, forever.
But today everything changed, when I came to the dojo I noticed that he was back.
He looked a bit exhausted and somewhat disillusioned, but The Shoe is back.
