Freedom is a mysterious thing. So easily taken for granted. This piece is related to the previous one, Curiously Confined. I think I need to be reminded that I have always been free, despite feeling otherwise for so long.

Being free is also really frightening; so many opportunities. But things are changing in my life these days - for the better I might add - and that’s helping me move forward.

I wrote about this piece, and how I used to trim just the right wing of each of my guineas, which caused them to be off balance and unable to fly.

Trimming guinea wings is not for the faint of heart. They resist this process.

I think I need to give more consideration to the whole interconnectedness of freedom and balance. To be continued.
