Freedom
We are free to put down and pick back up our human goals. We exult in the freedom from desire. And we do not exult. Freedom from desire is the background of life, an element of the water in which we swim. We are alive in our power to put down our cares and pick them up again, at will, as is useful.
We do not need. We do not want. Even our good will, we can pick up or put down. Even freedom, we can use or discard. We can tie ourselves to the mundane. We do so to swirl and whip against the currents along with others, our friends. We can let go; and we can be free again.
