my free spirit

"What if this birds wings were not clipped in all actually, but it just had not flown free for so long it had forgot that it could fly in all the rational against its very true nature. And by not being able to be in direct contact with this true self it really had become mute because it really had nothing to sing about at all. Then one day the cage door was swung open and it just sat there on its perch unaware that it was called to be free and regain it’s true self once more. Wouldn’t it been the kind, caring, and thoughtful action to encourage this bird through that door and show it by a release of the hand , that its wings again were pushed in to action by its very instinctual being to flutter and fly free as the bird it had always been. I believe before too long this bird would again embrace itself and nature to fly gloriously free and true as it had once before in the boundless sky before it. And for that voice of song that had been mute for so long; wouldn't it miraculously come back in a cheerful melody of beauty unfathomed by the prognosticators who said this bird was lost forever by an imprisonment of its soul, spirit, and body.Wouldn’t that give us all hope as the ones locked in the cage of very own demons and circumstances. That we to could fly once more in spite of the tragedy and trauma that had imprisoned our lives for so long against are very true nature, and to be free to fly soaring to new heights and singing aloud the glorious song of joy."

*that is a comment left for me in june 08, when i pondered on my blog-- my ability to be a bird free of a cage-- in a poem i wrote. at the time, i was headed for my appearance at bankruptcy court which was a couple of weeks away, and really starting to try and surface again after years to find the meaning of my life again. i've learned a lot since then, and that is to truly live the day, the moment, and treasure the gifts life brings to us as they are given. thanks to the commenter,Stan, who never ceases to amaze me with his unique perspective on life.
