Free.

"The free bird leaps 

on the back of the wind

and floats downstream

till the current ends

and dips his wings

in the orange rays

and dares to claim the sky"

-Maya Angelou

From: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Freedom can be a little intoxicating,

And at the same time crippling.

The skies are open to us all,

Hawaii, Nepal, Colorado.

We can go wherever we want to.

And yet I've seen person after person in my graduating class,

seek the Lord's will first.

I think when it comes down to it,

the reason we do that is because of trust.

We trust that He is good.

We trust His ways are higher than our ways.

We trust that He knows the way,

and all we have to do is follow.
