To be free…

To be free is to be able to take a loving look at the world and your neighbor.
It is to live your desires with full respect for others and their environment. It is also to distance yourself from what harms your own physical and mental health.
It’s having time to dream of a better world.
It is still having the capacity to give, without counting and without any counterpart.
It’s taking the time to meet, including with potential enemies.
It is to receive the wonder of Nature every day, to listen to its wisdom as a lesson of harmony, to accept its cruelty.
It is looking your own death in the face, beyond fear, with the joyous determination to make it wait again, like a lover whose pleasure one would like to increase by making it languish. So that the last moment that will come offers an ultimate ecstasy. POL
