On my way home to the farm on Friday afternoon – I had the MP3 player plugged into the stereo and was very merrily singing along to my fav tunes.
Then I noticed that the ones I really enjoyed had a clear theme:
They all talked about the idea of freedom. Now I have thought about freedom quite a lot – and of course it (just like power) is an illusion.
But what if we 'reframe' our idea of freedom – and make it the freedom to be the person your truly believe yourself to be. That freedom is actually the description of that moment you feel like you can truly breathe.
So then freedom can be your own house, or a drive to a favourite place, being safe in someone's arms, a paragraph in a favourite book, in that moment in a dark cool cinema before the movie starts or even just a memory.
Surely when we start saying we are searching for freedom – we are really searching for ourselves.
(that sounded more intelligent and a lot less wanky than that in my head)
This is just an idea that is being formed at the moment – so I will keep working on it.
