Freedom

“The soul that is attached

to anything

however much good

there may be in it,

will not arrive at the liberty of divine union.

For whether it be a strong wire rope

or a slender and delicate thread

that holds the bird, it matters not,

if it really holds it fast;

for, until the cord be broken,

the bird cannot fly.”

St. John of the Cross
