You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.
Freedom.
Free at last, Free at last, thank God all mighty I’m Free at last.
MLK shouted these words during the Civil Rights marches of the 60’s. Bravehart shouted Freedom at the King of England from across a battlefield stained with blood. Freedom is a concept worth fighting for, worth waiting for.
Freedom!
I am shouting it tonight because it feels like the right thing to scream.
Free is what I feel right now. It is what you should feel after reading this allegory of esoteric thoughts and positive affirmations.
Freedom is a warm place that your soul should live. Freedom is the bright place that your mind should inhabit. Freedom is the soft place that caresses your being giving you peace to be who you want to be.
Freedom is swimming in a warm ocean bathed in a moon glow of renewed energy and opportunity. Freedom is the sound palm leaves make as a gentle zephyr kisses them from the sky.
Freedom is the thought that fills my mind with a calm that it has not felt in years.
Today I am baby being born. I am emerging from the birth canal into a new world. I am delivered by a mother of my own choosing, and spanked by a doctor I call friend.
Today the oppressive stress that has weighed me down is gone. Today the suffocating lack of trust that had enveloped me is a vapor trail in an endless blue sky that stretches as far as my mind can dream.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
Breathe in the freedom people. It’s right there for the taking.
All you have to do is let go of what’s holding you back and embrace what you can be.
Freedom.
Thank God All Mighty, Free at last.
