[hometext] => I wrote this poem on my return from a backpacking trip to India...a journey of letting go to everything that held me back ...I felt complete freedom and joy of life...
[bodytext] => Break Free! Step aside your comfort Take a cold shower on a morning winter Drink hot water Jump naked into a cold lake at dawn Walk without shoes in the snow. Break free Sacrifice those little fears Set aside those daily routines Walk on gravel barefoot Play like kids with wooden swords Climb trees and eat cherries Write in a journal – stories to be found Later on in life When you look upon them As your sweet memories They are there to remind Who you were, who you are and who you wish to continue to become. Break free! Hug a tree and appreciate its patience The tree is a sage: observe its wisdom! as it changes with the seasons. Break free! Try sing a song with foreign lyrics Dance wild in public and feel silly Wrestle naked with your lover Make love to him in any place that feels a dare Allow your sexual energies flow through As if there is no tomorrow due Reaching far beyond your head’s temples Into the unknown Waking every cell within Where your journey of creative potential began You feel so alive within You can barely contain the feeling charging in. Break free! Try fly above the mountain peaks with the glide Or take a trip to Italy to feed the pigeons on the side; Or go to Greece and pay homage to the ancient Gods Believe in a cause and fight for it till it’s solved. Or simply play an instrument on the streets To get some extra cash for your treats. Or create art for your own soul To illustrate what you wouldn’t through a different call. Break Free! Crack open your resistances Those little fears keep you from attaining You utmost potential Allow your soul to take you places Dream on even if you are too old to even breathe Everything begins with a thought, a goal, with a crave – it is what keeps us alive and fit to think Go on and realize it You’ve got nothing to lose But to gain – gain the freedom of your mind The freedom of your spirit unrestrained! Only then you’ll have the ride of your life And feel complete in the arms of destiny.
