Freedom – Three Day Quote Challenge – Day 3

This has been a really enjoyable three days. I really do like gleaning for quotes. It gets the brain clicking and inspires. For the third and final day in honor of election season here in the US I chose the word Freedom. Some say freedom isn’t free…that freedom is a right…or that it is never given freely, and must be earned or taken…while others say that it is a state of mind or an attitude: one is free the minute they believe they are. It’s a topic that many have an opinion on including the great minds I’m sharing with you today (I got carried away…there are more than three!). At any rate I hope that on this 21st day of July you have the freedom to be or at least friends and loved ones around you to remind you that you do. 🙂

Thanks again to Elsie for nudging me to take up the challenge. If you decide to post a quote of your own, be sure to ping me. 🙂

Freedom

a poem for those who wander…

to ride the wind
like a whirligig
in the browning
stage of life…to
spin adrift on
the vortex of one’s
own imagining, having
snapped free from
the tip of rooted
branches that burrow
deep into the heart…to
drift to earth only to
split asunder…and
when all seems
lost, to explode
into rooting tendrils
reaching deep
deep, deep…
sometimes one
must abandon
everything…
surrender in free
dizzy-ing fall,
to find home.
