That You May Know You Are Already Free

1/23/2018

I hear some people say, 
"until all are free, then I am not free"
but what if that is only another form of bondage?

Let this instead be my anthem,
That I will hold and insist
that I will declare and repeat
until my dying breath,

YOU ARE FREE
You are already free
You. Are. Free.
May I whisper it between the bars
between the waves
between the onslaughts
between the injustices
between the suffering.
May I shout it until my voice is hoarse.
May I carry the message 
in every breath I take, with every glance, with every decision.
I am free.
And I can choose
to live a free life
or to live in bondage.
That's how free I am.
That's how free you are.
You are free, darling.
No one can ever enslave *you*
No one can ever take away the beauty of who you are 
No one can take away your thoughts or tell you what to think.
I too have been in the dark
I too have been held down
abused
abandoned
completely lost and forsaken
on the verge of death
deeply separated from everything good.
I too have stood in the water up to my neck,
waves over my head, drowning, gasping, reaching
reaching for what I knew was there.
The truth is, I never found the shore.
I became the shore. I realized that I AM the shore.
My understanding became alive when I quieted my mind, when I comforted the inner voices, when I compassionately saw what all this heat and chaos was creating.
Like a volcano, I was rising up and becoming an island.
I was becoming more of what I wanted. More of who I already am.
A powerful creative being with limitless potential.
Yes, I was the shore all along.
It was right here! I was right here.
When I stopped my inner war and personal violence, I could see it.
And Love restored me to sanity.
So now,
I know
I am free
and I will not stop telling my story
until everyone I meet
remembers who they are too.

This is my duty. 
This is my purpose.
This is my mission.
This is why I came. 
So that you would know
this one thing
and this alone.

You are free.
You are free.
You are free.
You will rise.
You will rise.
You will rise.
And it is a pleasure to watch you becoming.

And until all remember and know deep within that they are free, I will press on. I will press on.
