Create Freedom

What does freedom mean to you?

From my perspective, freedom is not about external circumstances, but rather about internal mastery and autonomy. It’s the ability to maintain tranquility and virtue regardless of external events or constraints.

It involves accepting what cannot be changed and focusing on what can be controlled: our thoughts, actions, and attitudes.

In essence, freedom is found in living in accordance with nature and the rational principles of virtue, rather than being enslaved by desires, emotions, or external pressures. Freedom is something we can create!

Rediscovered

Poem: Rediscovered

by Liam

Hidden by the shadow of my disregard ,

Gratitude, became a threadbare cloak.

Draped across weary shoulders, I spoke.

Collapse I to my knees,

burdened, self marred.

Too long now, have I starved my soul,

Letting love wither, life denied.

Blinded within, ignorance my guide,

Tears once warm, now cold control.

Why let I selfish arrogance lead me astray?

When simplicity beckons, pray, “Thank you!“

Oh Joy! Be now my newfound feast,

Gratitude’s embrace, revitalizing every facet of today.

A renewal, a rebirth, a heartbeat free,

Thankful, for each dawn, each breath, each stride.

I hold aloft a prayer, cast a aside my pride.

Deep within, in a silent hymn, I finds me.

Let’s Dance

Sonnet: Let’s Dance

by Liam

Amidst the chaos of my busy mind,

I oft forget my purpose and my joy,

My heart weighs heavy, hard to unwind,

To dance life’s sacred steps,

I my soul deploy.

Created to love, to smile, to uplift, this life

To join in the dance with others all around,

But entangled in life’s burdensome strife,

My entangled feet, are held firm to the ground.

Oh Blessed peace, untangle, set me free,

My soul, aligned my heart renewed and pure,

That I may fly and spread contagious glee,

With every loving step, a smile to procure.

So let us spin, oh Beloved, let’s sway,

And share the joy that’s meant for us each day.

Sisterhood

Poetry: Sisterhood

by Liam

In evening twilight, the sun bids farewell,

Every soul must depart, each of us must fly ,

Into the starlight, our truth doesn’t lie.

Let the sickle moon soar, and cast its spell.

Written into the cosmos, etched by that hand,

We’re but fools, blinded by conflicting alarm.

Warring with kin, estranged from our charm.

Fate’s gentle dance, is a destiny planned.

Brothers sisters, let’s link arms, no longer divided we stand,

In the mystery of life, let peace us command.

For it’s in unity’s embrace, our spirits align,

And in love’s embrace, true sisterhood shines.

Voting

Do you vote in political elections?

Voting is crucial because it’s a civic duty, allowing individuals to influence policies, elect representatives who align with their values, ensure diverse representation, hold elected officials accountable, protect rights, and promote positive change in society.

It’s a responsibility that we all need to act on. Liam.

Poem: Seeking

Poem: Seeking

by Liam

In the shadows we wander, lost and blind,

But in darkness, is a truth to comprehend,

For within ourselves, light does ascend.

Seeking that truth we cannot seem to find.

No need to search beyond, no need to roam,

Embrace the darkness, let it be your friend,

And in its depths, your seeking will find its end.

For within our souls, the Light finds its home

Now we become the light that of desire,

In every step, we find the path to inspire.

No longer lost, no longer in flight,

For in ourselves, we find eternal light.

Spring

Poem: Spring

by Liam

It’s the leaves in spring, about to bud .

Which swell and greet the coming flood.

Of warmth, the splash in a

puddle of mud.

On branch, on twig, on every stem.

Chlorophilled life is hidden within.

A waiting blossom,

A patient leaf.

An insect becomes the quiet thief.

Will furl it’s wing, take to the sky.

The blossom, a bee to the pollen will cry.

An ode to glorify this day.

Its spring again, I t’s life anew

It’s bud, blossom and green leaf too.

In this all abundant way,

We rejoice and laughing say:

Yes! yes! Yes!

To the beauty of life, this day.

How to chill.

How do you unwind after a demanding day?

Yeah, few ideas that I incorporate during a busy week.

Take a warm bath or shower to relax your muscles and soothe your mind.

Practice deep breathing exercises or meditation to calm your thoughts and release tension.

Go for a power walk in nature or engage in gentle exercise to clear your mind and boost endorphins.

Listen to calming music or sounds, such as nature sounds or soft instrumental music.

Engage in a creative activity you enjoy, such as drawing, painting, or writing.

Call or spend some time with loved ones or pets, enjoying their company and sharing positive experiences.

Treat yourself to a favorite snack or beverage, indulging in a small pleasure to lift your spirits.

Practice mindfulness by focusing on the present moment and letting go of worries about the past or future.

Read a book or watch a movie that transports you to a different world and helps you escape temporarily.

Write in a journal to reflect on your day, express your emotions, and gain perspective on your stressors.

These activities were put into motion will enable you to chill. Liam.
