"Inches and Feet"
By Rooster
"The foot measures not the path, but the self."
Softness deceives, lulling the soul
into slumber. In cushioned
comfort, suffering takes root, a
silent thief nourished by ease.
Though wealth, time, and energy
are lavished upon it,
the foot remains bound.
The path, a jagged edge, demands
the foot's true nature. It is in this
friction, in this resistance, that
peace is forged.
David Cox, a seasoned veteran of the US Army, spent 22 years as a Paratrooper, navigating life's challenges with courage and resilience. His experiences have shaped his perspective, imbuing his writing with a deep understanding of the human condition.
What’s happening at VetRep…
ONLY ONE SHOW LEFT! DECEMBER 14th
Join us for an intimate evening of theater in the heart of Cornwall at our cozy Parlor on Quaker Ave. The final Parlor performance of the year will feature seven, 10-minute plays authored by veterans, including plays that have won grants through VetRep’s bi-annual Playwriting competition. Settle in with a winter mocktail and dessert while we explore drama, comedy, and all the feelings in between through each short play.
