I saw a picture of this sculpture on Facebook and it has really captured my imagination:
what might it mean
to be free?
to be loosed,
unbound,
no longer held
in place
by conventions?
+
what might it mean
to be free?
to embrace life
anew, to dance
beyond
the boundaries
of the expected?
+
the invitation
is issued,
the call
goes forth
"come, move
in the unforced
rhythms
of my grace"
+
Dare we let go, to discover
what it might mean
to be free?
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." (Matthew 11: 28-30)
