| Freedom flies without stagnation being concerned with neither wars nor nations She sets up her house in skies unobliterated by hates or fears or other irrational stations of mind
Her house is the vastness of the midnight skies The intensities of countless Suns The depths of dark in the mid of night The flowing streams by whence the willows grow
The lillies of the valley, the Lotus blossoms from the cleanest waters and the darkest too The heat of a cloudless day or the coolness of a winter's snow
Freedom flies, and that's all we need to know You do not need to control her and furthermore You cannot, but you sure can learn to enjoy her if you can learn to let go of your desires to control her

This is awesome! I like how it speaks on multiple levels, including the larger concept of "freedom" as a political state of being and the very personal definition of freedom, being unbound from the false rules of society and enjoying the true freedom of the streams and the lillies. Awesome! | |
