Contemplations about Freedom and How to “Begin It.” If you’re reading this blog post on a computer in the U.S., you already have advantages and freedoms that many in the world can’t take for granted. First of all, you can read. (A few Middle Eastern and African countries are still debating whether girls should be taught to read….) Second, you have electricity. (I love my annual Orcas Island camping trip, but flashlights and porta-potties get old after a few days.) Third, you have a computer, or at least, computer access. (Anyone over 30 will remember the time known as “B.C.” – before computers!) Furthermore, nobody’s making you read this. It’s not government-approved propaganda.
“Freedom is the ability to create the lives we want, enjoying the journey as much as the destination…. The freedom to express oneself fully and without fear, whether in conversation, business, or art…. Freedom is enjoying every day, living in gratitude, living from choice.”
