FREEDOM

If there is too little freedom we
become caged by mental prisons, and are
kept on strict guard by our own judgements
or the opinions of others. Our spirits are
constricted and we do not have the
space to become who we really are.

If there is too much freedom we become
ungrounded, and are once again bounded
and enslaved by the inertia of options.

Like two wings of a bird true freedom
is a state of balanced mind.
Each wing needs to be developed
in order to fly steadily, to be able to ride
through both calm and steady sea,
because true freedom doesn’t in fact
come for free.

It is earned by the courage to break out of
the shackles of our fears and past conditioning.
It is earned by releasing the elusive
expectation of perfection
in order to to walk in the world
as our true selves.
