i feel this overwhelming need to tell you that you are free at any moment you want to be.
your mind, your heart, your spirit- they are all just cage-less birds waiting patiently behind the illusionary bars you have set them in. some of us spend life times constructing the perfect self-induced home for our most precious belongings. a home that is safely confined to comfort or to the fear of surrender and letting go. we pick the cage's color, the ornate detailing, the size of our boxed in, simulated freedom. we control the creation of our own aviary. but, it's ok and feels safe as long as we are in control.
we seem to like control, so let's go with that. just as it was our choice to give these cages standing room in our lives, it is our choice in what we do with them at each moment.
a complete demolition of these lifelong creations of restriction? why that may be too much too soon and leave its inhabitants flightless, unable to catch air under their premature wings.
but, you have the power to just open the door. at any moment. you have the power.
remember, your heart, mind and spirit, they are already cage-less by nature. they are already ready and willing to fly free, to flow with the current of the honest air. their wings may be slightly stunted from time behind imagined bars, but they will grow strong nonetheless. every time the door is opened and they are given permission to explore beyond illusion, freedom is yours.
yes, freedom is yours.
