Climb the Fence With Me.

There is so much snow on the ground that I'm trapped in the house.

Yesterday was the same.

Yesterday I sat in front of TV, inert, immobile.

Ridiculous.

I did some work on a project, not enough to please me. No reading, no cooking, no work. Lazy pointless.

I made myself promise I wouldn't do that today.

I haven't.

I've read and written, worked on my project, and read some more.

And thought.

About how trapped I once was by possessions. By attachment to the things that I had. Don't get me wrong I still have a lot of that, but I'm not trapped by it any more. I will give you everything I have if you just ask.

If you need it. It is yours.

I'm no longer trapped in the ghetto. I'm no longer behind a fence looking at freedom. Instead I've climbed over the razor wire fences, and the past the German Shepherds, and into the streets of the waiting city. Ready for action. Ready to walk on into the night, the stars clearly guiding the way to freedom, and love and life.

I gave it all to God so he took it.

I make the choice now to not gather it all back in.

The grass is greenest on this side.

Climb that fence with me. Throw a blanket on it so it doesn't cut you to much. But fling yourself over and meet me here on the other side.

I will be here waiting for you.

Just like you were waiting for me.

There is my new Noble Truth. Live simply, love completely.

File under Virtue.
