I am open, and I am willing
To be hopeless would be so strange
It dishonors those who go before us
So lift me up to the light of change
—Holly Near

What lifts you up to the light of change?

In June of 2015 the US Supreme Court declared that all couples are free to marry, regardless of gender. Which is to say that same sex couples gained the freedom marry, thereby giving up a variety of freedoms that go with being single.

What do you offer freely?

A Ferris wheel gives you almost no freedom in your ride. You just go around in a big circle. But it turns out you can see amazing things from that big circle—as you can within the limited, but very large, cycles of the seasons and of birth and death.

What circles or cycles do you see yourself moving within?

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”—Nelson Mandela

How do you enhance the freedom of others?
