When Thinking Of Scars

When Thinking of Scars

I have heard that Buddhists ask
what one should do in a world filled
with sharp stones?

Should we cover the world with
soft leather, so that we might walk
where we will?
Or should we simply cover
our feet?

I tend to wear thickish shoes,
my skin so thin.
