FREEDOM
WHAT IS THIS LIBERTY THEY ALL SPEAK OF? IS IT WHEN WE ARE FREE FROM THE CONSTRAINTS OF POWER?
IS ANARCHY THE ANSWER TO FREEDOM?
WHEN WALKING THROUGH HILLS AND VALLEYS WITH SUNSHINE GLOWING ON OUR FACES, DOES THIS GIVE US THE CALM TASTE OF IT?
IS IT WHEN WE SWIM IN EMERALD GREEN WATERS
ALONGSIDE GENTLE SILVER FLASHES OF FISH, OR WHEN WE CLIMB A MOUNTAIN
WITH THE FRESH WINDS CIRCLING OUR EARS?
GALLOPING ALONG AN AUTUMN TREE LINED AVENUE WITH CHEEKS FLUSHED FROM THE SHARP COOL WIND
CAN ALSO FEEL LIKE FREEDOM, BUT IS IT?
WHEN CHILDREN ARE PLAYING, THEY SCREAM WITH EXCITED AIR. BONDING MADE BETWEEN SIBLINGS AND FRIENDS.
DOES THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS GIVE US THE TRUE FEELING OF FREEDOM, THE FREEDOM OF A CHILD’S IMAGINATION AND DREAMS,
WHERE ALL IS NEW AND FRESH; ACTIVE AND SEEKING?
THE CHILD IS OFFERED THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN FOR THERE IS NO CONSTRAINTS WITHIN THE INNOCENCE.
THE WORD LIBERTY IS NOT SPOKEN OF IN TERMS OF A CHILD’S HEART NOR IS ANARCHY USED TO INFLUENCE THE CHILD’S MIND.
FREEDOM IS CHILDLIKE, THE INVISIBLE EASINESS OF JUST LIVING EVERY DAY.
