Is freedom a place to live, to breath, to sleep? Is freedom an ability to speak, to hear, to dance? Is freedom a religion to cry, to pray, to love? Is freedom a right to vote, to protest, to overturn? Is freedom a responsibility to think, to reason, to judge? Is freedom a gift to be used, to be given, to be held? Yes, freedom IS: you have the place you have the ability you have the religion you have the right you have the responsibility you have the gift of freedom. |

(big hugggssssssss) And I can add one more thing: kicking Natalie Maines opinion and crushing it and thousands of her Dixie Chicks CDS and disturbing the lives of the innocent across boundaries is not freedom! (sad sigh) I pray all the world soon understands the TRUE meaning of freedom, God Bless You for posting this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I love this! Unfortunately, it's mostly something I take for granted. |

Great job. Not something most people think about. Imagine all the People living life in peace... |

Sharon, this is beautiful and absolutely true. We have freedom because of the men and women who have fought for it for us. Even though they didn't want to fight, they did so that we all could have our freedom. Thank you for this. Heart Hugs, Ethel |

Very intriguing write about something which needs serious contemplation especially these days. To me, Freedom is the extent of one's own will power. "I should have been a pair of ragged claws/ Scuttling over the floors of silent seas"-T.S. Eliot |
