Bending to fit

Sometimes we bend and squeeze to fit in the place that is available. Even the body can change its natural chape over the years because of an unhealthy adaptation to the outside. It gets narrow for the body, for the mind, for the voice… The soul is free, needs space and shouts: “Get up!”. In spite of the discomfort, we may prefer the small, because this is what we know. And we find many reasons to stay and others to blaime for our imprisonment. Until we realize that nothing holds us, but the fear of the unknown. Courage arises and we walk away, bent by our experiences but free to do what is innate to us.
