(Reflections on Family, Friends, Work & the Philosophical Mind)
I wanted self, free—
Free of all chores,
Free of the ties of family and friends,
Free from every chain I forged and wore.
I wanted self, free—
Free of restless thoughts,
Free from the pain of giving too much,
Free from emotions that never settled.
I wanted to be free—
Free from the noise of competition,
Free from the dance of negotiation,
Free from the need to always explain.
I wanted to be free—
Free from being the wise one,
Free from being the quiet one,
Free from the weight of understanding.
And now—I am free.
Free from the body,
Free from roles, from names, from form…
I am only spirit—
Unbound, unseen, and finally… still.
