"Freedom given is not complete. It's only when we receive it, enjoy it, give thanks for it, that it becomes fully ours."
HOLLY GERTH
This year named itself for me, a soul-whisper deep in the night waking me to the sound of fireworks and revelry and a cage door wide open. "Free". I have never been more thankful for anything. I cried with relief. But the truth is I've struggled since then with knowing what to do with this gift of freedom, how to own it and...enjoy it. I stepped out of the cage but I'm still here, back up against the bars, wondering what on earth comes next?
So, for October, the month I was born, I'm going to figure it out one day at a time - how to be Free.
