freedom is never found it is fought for
It is difficult to acquire a clear mind, to maintain a free spirit, to overcome darkness of the soul and confusion of mind and beliefs. The hardness of broken people ruling over people and the coldness of policy makers that interferes with the collective wisdom of mothers and fathers moves and affects our walk. The fact that we have accepted their expert opinions without the warrior spirit we were born with tells us a lot about ourselves.
It is a fight to become. It was a fight to be born from mother's womb. Insanity makes sense in the context of the sacred Medicine Wheels. Positioned on one wheel I am familiar with Insanity lives south on this wheel looking north at Growth. There is a relationship between the two. Some of our gifted healers live with Insanity as a grounding force capable of propelling them to grow their medicine. This is not a path for the faint of heart. This is a warrior's path.
Harriet Tubman spoke right into the jacked up paradigms of African ex-slaves during an interview that produced an eye opening response. Her answer to the remark about the number of slaves she freed is revelatory.
"There would have been more had they known they were slaves."
The gift of what I am saying is to fight for your freedom from whatever binds you. To understand freedom understand its denials.
Fight for your freedom.

Harriet Tubman had to kill some who wanted to turn back. Can you envision what that took to do that? How much fight do you have in you?
