Put off thy shoes from thy feet?

This phrase: "Put off thy shoes from thy feet ... " has been on my tongue for weeks, today it's come full circle.

"The rabbi of Kobryn taught:

-God says to man, as He said to Moses: 'Put off thy shoes from thy feet' - put off the habitual which encloses your foot, and you will know that the place on which you are now standing is holy ground. For there is no rung of human life on which we cannot find the holiness of God everywhere and at all times."
