FREEDOM
With too little freedom we
become caged birds
our song is muted and we cannot expand
our wings to become all that we are.
Too much freedom and we are lost again,
this time in flight and without any sight of ground.
The equal wings of a bird fly when they are
balanced between sky and earth.
True freedom is a practice, a perspective and
a commitment that does not really come for free.
We earn it though our courage to let go of the thoughts
and ideas that enslave us
we earn it by removing our shackles of perfection
so we may move in the world as ourselves.
