Freedom (2009), bronze sculpture by Zenos Frudakis, in Philadelphia, PA.

if I could just fly away to different climes to my heart’s content I shall be happy if I could build my own home wherever the fancy took me in a style that matched my own needs I shall be happy I could set down roots in a neighbourhood amongst some kindred spirits I shall be happy having to arrive in time at destination to then benefit from the timeously ripening of the food supply and the availability of some fresh water not polluted by mankind and hoping against all hope that my lifelong mate has also managed to make it across the vast distances traversed I could be happy then I’ll be free as a bird

Gosh. Isn't this what every human heart longs for.. a hope of heaven on Earth. Love the image for this, Suzette. Finding kindred spirits can be a challenge but they are out there, trust me :)

Suzette, A fine day to be free. For yours 'across the vast distances traversed' just a matter of moments in muse, being loved by the one that masters the skies, the one that completes. I really enjoyed that. -Richard
