freedom

I asked my facebook friends to define the word "Freedom". Most of the responses received had either a religious back story or were silly answers.

Sitting contently by a stream, just me, my journal, and Jesus. Maybe a camara. Or, spinning circles on a vaulted stage floor, with an empty auditorium. The ability to just BE.

Surrendering to death...the ultimate oppressor...allowing it to consume you, dragging you to the one place you could never go, and being redeemed..........then walking in that reality every single day.

Freedom = Walking naked into a restaurant and telling the waitress, "I'd like to try the special." This of course prompts her to ask the more obvious question, "Table or booth?"

Does freedom only come through spiritual belief or religious faith?
