Wild horses aren’t, properly speaking, wild. They are feral animals, once domesticated, but now living free in nature. It turns out that for both horses and humans there are benefits and down sides to living a domesticated life.
In what way do you wish your life were more wild?
The saying goes that everyone is free to their own opinion, but not to their own facts. The modern world of social media makes it easy to share and debate opinions. It also makes it easy to share “facts” that simply have no basis in reality.
When have you allowed your opinions to lead you astray from researching the facts?
“For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle, and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged.”
—Alice Walker
What freedoms have you gained through facing down your fears?
When you think of a bird soaring free, you might think of the great gliders, like the albatross who can stay aloft for a year at a time. But the tiny hummingbird is has perhaps the freest flight of all, since it can go in any direction, shifting paths in an instant.
How have you found freedom through being flexible about your path?
One version of freedom is to be free from obligation, open to anything because you have nothing to tie you down. Some people would describe this as loneliness.
How do you feel about the level of freedom vs. obligation in your life?
