“Walking,
I am listening
to a deeper way.
Suddenly
all my ancestors
are behind me.
Be still, they say,
Watch and listen.
You are the result of the love of thousands.”
-Linda Hogan

dark and deep,
but I have promises to keep,
and miles to go before I sleep,
and miles to go before I sleep.”

How better to celebrate the freedoms we have then to be alive in each moment, with every molecule of our singular unique self brought to fruition. What a huge gift this freedom! To be able to live our highest truth without involvement from imposing powers not our own. Huge sacrifices have been made for these gifts.
Evolved and evolving, present, aware living are the fruits of this free life. Letting our being creatively express on the palette of the vibrant planet. Feeling deep gratitude. And yes! bringing to being all of our singular unique selves.
Yes, we are truly free.
Know it. Live it.
And may the creatures be wild and free!
Freedom lies in being bold.
–Robert Frost
Freedom – to walk free and own no superior.
–Walt Whitman
Resolve and thou art free.
–Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
