freedom

I would rather have 10,000 stories than 10,000 in my bank account @myhumancompass Roy ('Backpack') Baron author of Looking Glass Shattered.

[A]dventures befall the unadventurous as readily, if not as frequently, as the bold. Adventures are a logical and reliable result - and have been since at least the time of Odysseus - of the fatal act of leaving one's home, or trying to return to it again. All adventures happen in that damned and magical space, wherever it may be found or chanced upon, which least resembles one's home. As soon as you have crossed your doorstep or the county line, into that place where the structures, laws, and conventions of your upbringing no longer apply, where the support and approval (but also the disapproval and repression) of your family and neighbors are not to be had: then you have entered into adventure, a place of sorrow, marvels, and regret.

My mother had a kindness that embraced all life.She knew her place well and was comfortable in giving everything she had.This is the tradition of native women.

True freedom is a mental condition that no one can take or give to you.

The highest freedom of mind comes from becoming non-judgmental.

None of us have true freedom because every one of us has to conform.

Do not seek wealth or splendor, but seek true wisdom, freedom, and joy of life.

You are only free when you can grow wings of wisdom to fly away from the cage of societal conformity.

Is it a small thing to quench the flames of hell with the holy tears of pity -- to unbind the martyr from the stake -- break all the chains -- put out the fires of civil war -- stay the sword of the fanatic, and tear the bloody hands of the Church from the white throat of Science? Is it a small thing to make men truly free -- to destroy the dogmas of ignorance, prejudice and power -- the poisoned fables of superstition, and drive from the beautiful face of the earth the fiend of fear?

The mind will enchain yourself, others or both. Your heart will set you / them free

Storms don't come to teach us painful lessons, rather they were meant to wash us clean.

If traveling was free, you'd never see me again.

Being Jesus means that we go through life embracing it all fully and feeling it all deeply. That we don__ hide and try to protect ourselves. That we live. That we show up. That we laugh. That we cry. That we hurt. That we heal. That we care. That we love. And then, that we wake up the next morning and sign up for it all over again.

Make no mistake, sin has been dealt with once for all, and we are as close to Him as we will ever be.

Mackenzie, the truth shall set you free and the truth has a name; he's over in the woodshop right now covered in sawdust. Everything is about him. And freedom is a process that happens inside a relationship with him. Then all that stuff you feel churnin' around inside will start to work its way out.

The truth was always the truth, but until I knew the truth for myself, I couldn't be free.

Our freedom through Christ means we are all free to love one another and to serve one another.

If people think honoring pastors means doing everything they say, why don't they honor Jesus the same way?
