Perhaps Freedom

Perhaps freedom is independence.

Independence in choosing where and how you want to be.

In choosing who you share life with and what you want to do.

Perhaps freedom is knowing that no matter what now seems like an obstacle

Can always be transformed into a stepping stone on your path to new life.

Perhaps freedom is finding the strength to not allow yourself to be burdened by

The mundane parts of the day or the parts that try to draw you backwards.

Perhaps freedom is knowing that you hold the power and the wisdom of the Universe

Inside your very own Self.

Perhaps freedom is choosing to surrender and let go of the need to control outcomes and expectations of what perfection looks like.

Perhaps freedom is breathing in fresh air and taking root on the Earth,

Feeling the heartbeats of our ancestors and giving gratitude for this alone.

Perhaps freedom is whispering, “Thank you” to the past and the future,

Right here, right now.

Perhaps freedom is what you are free to choose to believe and to feel

each new moment of each new day.

Perhaps freedom is ours for the choosing.
