Liberty Hope?

LIBERTY HOPE?

If you had to choose, would it be liberty or hope?  Liberty is highly recommended, but without hope, how would you know you were at liberty?  Transversely if you have no liberty, how could you have hope?  Removal of liberty removes the possibility of hope.  So, why ask for a choice to be made?  Well, that’s the joy of liberty.  I am free to ask anything and you are free to imagine anything and hope for more.

Plan a diet for your fears.

The snow is dying,

pouring itself into the creeks and riverbeds.

for the ubiquitous oneness of liquid.

Unity conquers the frozen individuated whole.

pulled from coast to coast the sun tempts the water’s life,

the sea gives up her soul to the sky

to be reborn as snow once more.

THE RAINBOW

What is that look of concentration?

Asked my sponsor

I am trying to see the gray.

The gray? She queried.

Yes, I heard at the meeting that between the

Black and white there’s a lot of gray.

Well my darling

I don’t want you to have black and white thinking.

But what lies between black and white

Are all the colors ---the full spectrum

What am I to do with this information?

What do I do with all those colors?

I ask in shock and confusion

For right now, just remember

That all colors aren’t blue.
