Free..!!

A thousand moments to cherish
A thousand dreams to fulfill
A thousand desires to yearn;
Amidst battling these feelings
Are life’s complex choices;
Still, truth be told
All I want
Is - Be
Free




For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. - Nelson Mandela

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free. - Swami Vivekananda

    How true and to exist and feel the freedom of choice, we struggle to breathe in some way or the other.

    Dear muZer

    Fly on you proud little bird
    you are to be free at last
    Let the feelings & choices not shackle you anymore
    Make a new flight, bury the past....

    Love always,
    Meow

    Arey..I had posted a comment up here..where did it go? :O
    But anyway..I await that freedom too,buddy..when touching the zenith ain't gonna cost you million bucks..and a time when knowledge is free..
    *gasP*..I get nostalgic with memories of the times when I used to recite Rabindranath Tagore's verses on freedom..

    good one though!
    Merry Christmas!
