Do you have rubber boots at home or at work? Have you ever had any at all? For me, rubber boots are associated with childhood memories: with them you could be outside in the biggest rain without getting your feet wet. They were a kind of universal shoe. If it was cold, just a few extra socks and I had warm and dry feet. When I wore these boots once on a Saturday afternoon at an event in the forest where we made a fire, I didn't even realise that - like with hiking boots - I could just push the wood back into the fire with my boot - because the rubber of the boot was not heat-resistant - and in no time my boot was disfigured and melted. Perhaps this little story will help you as a reminder to pay attention in a particular current situation and to check not to go too close - to stay with the story - to the fire and perhaps do harm.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
