I just watched the movie HAVOC and just was stirred by a series of emotions, especially those of appreciation.... life is not solid, and im very thankful for the life and freedom that I have.

Many people would say I was free all along, but many people are slaves to mindsets, systems, gangs, and fear. sometimes I cross into those areas for a season, but I always find my way back to where I belong, in freedom. there are many who have never known freedom, but I can only hope that one day a glimmer of its beauty will cross their paths.

money is not freedom; financial freedom is not freedom at all; none of that is freedom unless one truly values that which is indeed rich... and that is life.... mere living! the gold that is a heartbeat, the silver that is a breath of air, the fine linen that is raising a child in life and love, the pearl that is sharing the life of a loved one who has died or is near death, but has truly lived....

I can only hope that many will find that freedom and value it for what it is.
