Bondage or Freedom
You are free, but your mind is trapped,
Trapped in vicious cycles of thinking patterns.
Your mind circulates around all that must be accomplished.
Going from one task to the next, always anticipating the freedom.
Yet your mind is never really free, free to fancy all that is happening.
Instead your thoughts swirl like the flushing toilet, never relishing the present.
You are free, but your mind is trapped.
Trapped in accomplishments and to-do lists.
Now imagine every chore a chance to let the mind take flight.
Your imagination embarking on the inventive pursuits you have been designed for.
Could we not set ourselves free as the slave did?
The slave's body in bondage, but the mind free.

Are you free or in bondage?

Oh today I fell freer than I ever have in my life, even though I am responsible, upstanding even...whoa! Who knew that freedom would come with surrender and love!
Thank you for this post!
I so needed to read this. I've been feeling weighed down with writing obligations instead of letting them take flight. Thank you for the gentle nudge dear friend. (Hugs)Indigo
