Being free...

"I only ask to be free; the butterflies are free."


Have you ever given any thought about being free? Not the kind of free that you are thinking about but being truly free from almost everything.

One of my biggest dreams is to be able to fly. Fly way above the ground into the skies (sort of like a bird or a butterfly) and just catch yourself in a crosswind and just soar. Soar about the trees, the flowers, houses, and just feel the breeze blow, feel the freedom of the winds with no true cares other than to be able to nest and eat. I have dreamt many different times about flying. Being way up into the clouds and feeling the mist on my face and knowing that earth is below me where all of the fighting, wars, migrations, hurt, pain, suffering, etc is down there and being able to soar above. (of course you can't be afraid of heights - and that I am not)...

But just being free would be so uplifting. I think we all feel like we want to be free of so many things that each of us face every single day, whether it is health issues, work issues, etc. But as we all know we can give our buckets full of problems to God to carry for us so that our shoulders are given a break but doing this is easier said than being done. But if we could just be a butterfly we would be beautiful and be able to fly. Fly and be free. Now I know that being a butterfly has a shortened life span, but that's ok with me. To just be able to enjoy the flight and to see many things that we can not see down here on earth.

Be free of our chronic illnesses, be free of our pain and suffering and just to be simply free.

What is your dreams or what is on your bucket list? I have many dreams and aspirations and some I most likely won't be able to accomplish, but I do know I have already accomplished many items on my bucket list and I am truly thankful for that. But we are always allowed to dream. This is one free willed items God has given us, our dreams.

So one of my many dreams is to fly and to be beautiful even if it is only for a short time.
