.......there’s both a lot of ritual associated with a guy “putting on his boots”, as well as a very real security-blanket aspect. It’s a girding of the loins, so to speak. It’s fear-based; it’s going on the assumption that we humans are somehow separate from the world, weak, unsuited to the task… which is emphatically not true.
Dang, that's what I've been doing wrong. All these years I just thought I was lacing up my boots!!!
