Freedom

This is my final piece relating to the last blog post I wrote, which was all the way back in May. I read in a book, The Creative Gift by HR Rookmaaker, that freedom is not freedom from something but freedom to do something, freedom to act (to paraphrase). When I did this piece I was thinking about freedom from depression. Freedom from slavery, freedom from fear, but what about freedom to stop slavery, freedom to stop fear. I think that there's just something so much more powerful about using "to" instead of "from". How great it would be to always want to run to and not from something.
