"Freedom isn't Free"

Thats what the veteran told the crowd today at the pier-side ceremony.
I've heard that before and never agreed totally...
Do we really have to "fight" for what we want, need, deserve!? The deeper part of me says F@$&K NO! But sometimes there are obstacles present to truly test our resolve and help us build character. Our true nature has everything present at our disposable or utilization... sometimes it is ourselves we must "fight" to receive abundance.
Yoga teaches us to find a balance so there is no struggle to achieve peace in our moments. Allowing us to receive this inborn perfection and to re-member our spirit, so as to dance through this beautiful celebration called life. Why must we expect or accept otherwise?

Freedom is a choice and choices are always free...

I took this photo today of this beautiful hawk. Flying to me symbolizes freedom and having this day to hang out & witness flight was liberating :-) She kept looking at me as if to ask where is it?! Knowing full well that her dinner laid hiding in the bushes just waiting for it's moment to leave this world as nourishment for another.
I thank those that have dedicated their time and lives for my growth and blessings. May they be generously rewarded as I have been and grateful for the experiences.
