Freedom

It’s easy to imagine, from this distance, 

How freeing it must feel to sail along, 

Powered by the wind and unencumbered 

By the pressures and expectations 

 Of responsibilities on land; 

 To be set free from city streets, 

From traffic and angry customers, 

From briefcase or computer, 

From decisions and their consequences 

And all the other challenges 

That face us as we strive, thrive, or survive. 

Stop, then, and let me ask you: 

What would it take from you today 

To find that sense of freedom in THIS moment? 

Not through escape, but through immersion…
