Unfamiliar Freedom
Unfamiliar Freedom
To immerse oneself in
all our familiar comforts
does not set us free
To follow only what we think
we need and want
does not set us free
To believe with certainty
what is best for us and
strive for it
does not set you free
To appreciate just one familiar
comfort creates a passage
with unbound freedoms
To move past not knowing
what we need
we can be found
To believe that any trodden terrain
has purpose for what
we need holds merit
in freedom from
certainty
