ESCAPING FROM THE COMFORT ZONE
FREEDOM
From the cradle to
the grave, we've, or
most of us have been
given boundaries, guidelines,
no-nos, lists of wrong,
dos and don'ts, sins,
and too many warning
admonishments to remember.
We operate mechanically inside
a sad, but real, comfort zone.
YES,
we think about escaping,
we admire others who've escaped;
from time to time we dare and
take a step on the wild side
only to rush back in with
guilt pangs and self-punishment.
WE
want to experiment,
try it, indulge in it,
taste it, feel it, and have
those "forbidden" experiences.
SO
today meet me at
the escape door and we'll
walk through it together.
FREEDOM is waiting
