even for a moment
from all that binds us
to being human.
Imagine freeing yourself
even for a moment
from self-imposed burdens
that tie us to the mundane.
Imagine being free
from dualistic opposites of good and bad
and all the judgements
part of the package of being human.
Imagine freeing yourself
from all the ‘shoulds’
with which we tether our own wings
whilst longing to fly
and “ride the curled clouds”*.
Imagine being a child again
free to play, discover, explore
not bound by adult rules
heavy with responsibility.
Imagine, just for a moment.
And in that moment
all is possible
the door to a new adventure opens
freedom beckons.
Shake off the shackles of adulthood.
Shake off the tethers of humanness
and come play!
Loosen your wings
dance on the breeze
ride the circling thermals
cry into the wild wind
be the freedom you long for.
Come play!
