I sometimes see, with surprising ease, that I am freer, by far, than I ever imagined. Somehow, on those occasions, it becomes clear to me that I am not just a separate, isolated, and time-bound individual, but an essential part of a freely flowing universe. The atoms that make up my mind and body were shaped at the same moment the stars started to shine and the earth to spin, and thus have sailed through thousands of years with freedom, all the way to me. My thoughts, too, have flown to me on the freest wings, sailing into my life in casual, slapdash ways from who knows where, and I can freely flow with those thoughts beyond all boundaries. I confess I usually feel fairly bound up by all kinds of limits, but at certain special times I know I’m as free as a breeze on the loose.
