Freedom, Speak and Seek

Freedom...A word we speak, a remedy we seek and a concept 
so misunderstood by those of us who speak and seek.
Is freedom merely the absence of bondage or the lack of 
restrictive rules and regulations or some version of self directedness?
I wonder how many who think they are free remain in bondage or 
how many in bondage struggle to attain a poor substitute for freedom? 
Is it possible for a man in prison to be truly free?
What of the man in bondage as he comes and goes with impunity?
Freedom has a flavor and a feel that continues as you go along.
Once begun down in your heart, it will work its way everywhere else.
You will know freedom by it's lack of dependence upon circumstances
and its complete absence of fearful concern for what is and is to come.
