What is tying you down, dragging you down, holding you in place under its weight?
What are the chains that bind your hands, steal your joy, and crumble the ground underneath your feet?
What are the possessions that complicate your life by making it “more convenient”. Who are the people who lean on you to be just as weak as they want to be. What ideas, what images, and worldview to you let leak into your mind through your tv, phone, tablet, ipod, podcast, music………
Your chains are not put on by someone else, not placed on you as an unjust punishment. You are not shackled to some great stone wall, some immovable pillar.
You are….we all are chained to the possesions, the people, the very ideas we allow into our lives, that we allow to control us, and until we take off our self imposed chains we will never be able to reach those wings that our real friends, family, and mentors, and holding for us as they circle above us hoping, praying, and waiting for us to catch up……
