Lettering · Other · Black and grey · Photo

A bare foot rests on green grass, with black script lettering reading Philippians 4:13 across the top of the foot. The letters are outlined with solid black ink and shaded with grey, and the text runs diagonally from the toes towards the ankle. Pink nail polish and a blue denim cuff sit in the frame beside the tattoo.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Your mother has put the kettle on twice since breakfast, which tells you how worried she is, so I will not make her wait for the third time. The gate is mended. Tom from the mill came with his cart and two sacks of lime and said nothing about the price, which is either kindness or the lime being damp. Take it as kindness.

The grass in the top meadow has come up thick and green since the rain, and the sheep are fat on it. I walked the boundary with the dog yesterday and found the stone where you lost your shoe in the spring, the blue one with the buckle. I have put it on the windowsill. You will laugh that I kept it, but I could not throw it out.

You asked me in your last letter whether the road to the coast will break you. I have been thinking about that question since it came, sitting here with my bad hip and the hens pecking at my boots. You will be tired, and you will be frightened of your own ignorance, and you will be cold in the mornings. None of that is a reason to stop. Whatever you have to carry, you have been given the strength to carry it, and I have never once seen you fail to get up when you fell.

Write to me from the first inn that has a proper bed. Leave the shoe where it is. I will know you are coming by the way the dog stops at the gate.
