People may search for freedom, but freedom can only be found.
It is found within the choice one made to belong and accept the meaning belonging has to us.
May it be the choice to belong to a group and accept its rules.
May it be the choice to belong to a task and accept its consequences.
The choice provides containment as once it is made all other choices lose their relevance. However, it is the acceptance of that choice that opens the door to feeling free. It’s an acceptance that understands what belonging means to us, not one that decides to follow whatever authority seems to be present.
This acceptance occurs through choosing what one’s relationship with rules and consequences in this context can be for us. Learning how that relationship is experienced unfolds when we start to implement that choice.
