Call me Freedom.

Being Free does not mean flying in the winds, with no anchor. Instead being free is a state of mind in which one is anchored deeply in the ground of one’s beliefs and principles and yet is free to live, to learn, to flow and to grow. Like a waving flag in the winds of change..

As I watched Sitab singing ‘’Wavin flag’’ in his school today, I felt myself getting liberated, of so many binding thoughts.

"When I get older, I will be stronger, They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag…"

 I thought… how much I love the way my roots have anchored me to the solid earth of my reality, of how much I love this scent of fresh earth in my life.

"But it's my home, all I have known, Where I got grown, streets we would roam. But out of the darkness, I came the farthest"

And I thought… how much I cherish the sense of flowing breeze in my face, the winds of new opportunities and growth that life keeps throwing at me.

"Among the hardest survival. Learn from these streets, it can be bleak, accept no defeat, surrender retreat"

I realized just how much I love my life… its darkness and its light, its triumphs and its  defeats.. This life… and what I have made of it with my hands.

"But we struggling, fighting to eat, And we wondering, when we'll be free So we patiently wait, for that faithful day, It's not far away, but for now we say. "

Yes, it’s not far away. We are free. Today. Just now.
