“Life often resembles a series of hurdles that we all must leap over.  Looking to the past we see all of the obstacles we have overcome.  As we look ahead to the future in our uncertainty we do not see a finish line, simply more hurdles to jump.  The present allows us to take a moment to catch our breath, gather strength and appreciate how much ground we’ve already covered.  It is in the present that we are at our most powerful.”

Free, free, free!

I am free if only for an hour.
