This magnificent eagle in flight is the very picture of freedom—except for the tethers on its legs that mark it as a trained bird who will go back to its handler. It could fly away, but chooses to return.
What tethers do you voluntarily allow to limit your freedom?
How high we go and where we travel is different for each of us. But somehow, with or without wings, we find a way to fly.
When have you overcome what felt like an insurmountable obstacle?
A list of Japanese-Americans who served in the military during World War II while their families were imprisoned in internment camps would be an example of bitter irony. Fighting for justice and receiving justice are, sadly, not necessarily linked.
What have you done because you believed it was right, even though it gave you no personal gain?
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes a rabbit is just a rabbit, agile and soft and delighted to be out in a field of green.
What do you appreciate for being just simply the thing that it is?
The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks.
—Tennessee Williams
