Freedom
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Every now and then I get this feeling that makes me want to just walk out of my building and never look back. Keep on going until I get where my feet take me, ya know? Most of the time, my logical self speaks up loud and clear and reminds me that I have needs to attend to; family members depend on me and I can’t be selfish. Invariably, I take nice long trips to the South of France or to Tuscany in my mind. I go to the library and check out some books. Freedom comes in many forms, but it begins in your mind.
If you can’t possibly take that much needed vacation, why not immerse yourself in a nicely written book of fiction? Heck, you could get a well written biography and take off with Theodore Roosevelt, Rosa Parks or…even Liza Minnelli.
Take the time to quiet your mind and set aside your challenges. Pick up a book. If reading isn’t your thing, get a good movie or some new music. The library is free and they’ve got all sorts of media to keep you satisfied. Freedom is there…it’s there, guys.
Swim out to your ship if it’s not coming in fast enough. Swim out to it.
