An Exploration of
Freedom
A Message on Fate
Perhaps we humans are akin to dogs chained to a tree by a leash, caught on a perpetual chase for a squirrel just out of reach—an endless cycle of leaping, striving, falling, as if reaching for an unattainable dream. Because all the intricacies of eternity that brought us to this precise moment—this moment that transcends the infinitude of dimensions encompassed within space-time—could only hope to bring us away from our dreamless reveries. Because all the pulling and reaching loosened our leashes just enough to attain the freedom that enabled us to diverge from the squirrels we so yearned to capture. Because the only freedom we ever possessed and so attained, occurred within the concentric circles skillfully positioned around a tree we could never see, while tethered by a leash that never existed, and so we became the dogs we never were.
On Freedom
What It Means to be Free
They say you’re free
as long as you can elude
your hunter,
But I think true freedom comes
not by evading, but
when your hunter cannot close
the distance.
You are only free
when you become unreachable.
Walls of Glass
Maybe it’s time
to shatter the illusion
of perceived peace
For walls of glass
are the cruelest barrier
But holding on
to the broken shards
Only creates scars
And putting them together
veils the truth
Wanderlust
And again I’m off
chasing another dream
from my wildest fantasies
Hoping for one second
a single moment
I can find such intensity in my life
A single pointed focus so strong
That I require no purpose
beyond my own
Hoping that
for one second
I can feel emotion so deep
I am transcended
into a whole different dimension
Of pure awareness
Hoping that
even for a single point in time
the most evanescent of moments
Where perceivably distinct dimensions
cannot be distinguished
The moment
between stimulus and response
where my will is completely free
I have wandered upon
what it means
To be
completely and entirely at peace
