Freedom

The only significant choice we have is the one we are presented with every second of every day – the constant choice – do we accept a life bound by our conditioning or do we begin to break free. To make a choice we must first be aware of that choice – that is work in itself – and it is an awareness that deepens as we see the constraints of conditioning everywhere. It is really the choice between having the heart happily (or not) reside within the chest, or letting it constantly leap out. For it to leap out it needs stimulation, encouragement, energy – an injection from somewhere. Now the fact of life is that such an injection is always available. In fact this is what life is – the stimulation and support to always be breaking free. And it is, poignantly, a breaking – never broken.
