FESTIVALS

As the Festivals season gets under way... I wrote this about 20 years ago but thought of it this weekend at Solas... Solas review to follow...

Festivals
Fun
Celebration
And freedom from
The rest of our time
Spent striving
Surviving
Conniving to be someone
Freedom to
Be you
In what you do
Authentically true.

Festivals
Rest
Sabbath
And freedom from
The rest of our time
To find
What's mine
My cruel and kind
Freedom to
Become
The someone
That doesn't have to run.

Festivals
Painting
Dancing
Freedom from
The rest of our time
Faking
Breaking
And carelessly forsaking
Freedom to
Contemplate
Dynamically create
An alternative Kingdom state.

Festivals
Freedom from
The rest of our time.
