Freedom Over All Else

I choose boundlessness over security
Love over convention
passion over pragmatism
truth over peace (because real truth brings the deepest peace)
I choose growth over comfort
faith over fear
instability over imprisonment
messy fights over quiet suffering
risking it all over wondering what could have been
I choose fumbling around trying to hear the voice of the Beloved speaking to me over pushing Her to silence because what she’s whispering seems impossible.
I choose freedom above all else.
freedom to try my best and fail
freedom to start all over again
freedom to stay the course
freedom to find my own soul path in this lifetime.
without this freedom we have nothing
and without this freedom we have nothing to give
Freedom above all else.
