What does freedom mean to you?

Freedom is a state of mind, which is why so many who were under some type of regime for centuries felt like their hands were tied. When you oppress people who live off the land and understand nature, you take their freedom away from them.

Freedom…is no excess. Self awareness. Self understanding. This allows you to expand and understand existence and life around you. Your mind isn’t caged, so your acts and thoughts are free.

Freedom can only be achieved when everyone understands that leaders, council members, and presidents don’t hold your freedom at bay. Freedom cannot be torn from the clutches of those who aren’t even free themselves. It can only be obtained through healing, compassion and constant growth.

When I say everyone, I mean those willing.

Who is freer than a bird in the air? A forming galaxy? A speeding comet? Seeming purposeless yet, not interfering with yours or my freedom.

Freedom…can be found in those who don’t seek power or control. Freedom is love. Nature. Rain, falling. Flowers in bloom.

Existence exists without the help or need to control it. It does as it pleases.

Bondage is the complete opposite
