Feet tell as much as your face does

Ever had a feeling that your feet tell much more about you than your face does. We are trained to manipulate our face expressions but that's it. Last month I had gone for Annual day function at R.I.M.Y.I.. At the end of function there was a lunch programme. There unknowingly I started observing the feet of people standing in the queue and found something strange. These feet were telling quite a lot about the shape of person's face and the general frame as well. Looking closely it felt as if they are telling about the psyche of the person as well. For around half and hour or so, I had been in this observation state that kept on puzzling me. In between I also looked at my feet and I saw them the way I had never seen them and yes it did tell me something about myself, something registered that I can't express.

I had these feet related observations later as well, but not as intense as on that day. Later on I was talking to one of my teachers at P.U.C.S.D. who told me that somewhere Gurdjieff also mentioned about similar things and that everyone has a specific combination, in which even if you change only the nose of person, it will result in a different person. I think I understand to some extent what Gurdjieff might have meant or wanted to express, when I see in the light of my other past years' experiences and observations as well.
