Freedom

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Like a tree wavering its foliage in the air,
its fruitfulness is sweet to taste,
looking at its strength in the structure of its bark and branches.
The roots are sturdy and long to balance their weight on the foundation of good soil.
Like planting good seeds that spring up good fruits in rich, soiled ground.
Like a cactus, knowing it cannot be destroyed by the sun because of
the living water that flows within it.
Like the rain that flows and replenishes the earth while cleansing the air, so we can breathe fresh, stress-relieving, relaxing, cool breezes.
Like looking up at the sky searching for truth and security.
Like a runner who’s going through hurdles.
Like the land soaking up water to hydrate all living things
and people to live a wonderful free life on Earth.
