Freedom

"A young monk asked the Master, 'How can I ever get liberated?'  The Master replied, 'Who has ever put you in bondage?'"  Spiritual teaching

I once complained to my son how I was too busy (in private practice), and he responded, "Who makes your schedule?"  I have never forgotten that because I tend to put myself in bondage over and over.  Even in caregiving, I was not able to create it in a way I did not feel in bondage.

Today, with all the violence in the world against women, girls, people who are of a different race/color/religion/status/belief, what can we as individuals do to not be in the bondage of fear?  We can practice kindness.  Toward ourselves and all others.
