Freedom - what does it entail?

[hybrid]

Thank You

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
If mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
Our love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
Inspiration's what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.

Thank you Kate.. <humble bows>

Be well, Sister of the Soul..

I second! This makes it official.

Sound- we love you!

I figured you played chess in your spare time.

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah

Sweet child in time,time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying they're killing everyone

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
I need [Incomprehensible]

When we come into contact with the other person,
our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion,
even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept.
We practice in this way until we see clearly
that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.

Ultimate freedom has nothing to do with your life circumstances -
it is the freedom of allowing the self to dissolve
into the waves of the ocean.
It is the freedom that is born through one's absolute trust in life.

The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape,
shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.
