According to the logic of that old, deluded world, freedom means being at liberty to come and go as we please. Such a definition of freedom is often very useful to an oppressive regime. That is because freedom, if so defined, becomes something that can then be taken away. Tsunesaburo Makiguchi said no when offered his freedom because the offer itself was deluded. His captors, who thought they were free but in reality were the “thought prisoners” of an oppressive government and the victims of a degraded religious culture that had long since capitulated on the matter of basic human rights, therefore had nothing to offer him. He was free already.
are you a dancer in this world?
do you walk the sundance of life?
but all you wanted was to be…free
what i wanted was to be…me

A good friend who points out mistakes and imperfections and rebukes evil is to be respected as if he reveals a secret of hidden treasure.
you’ll be given love
maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at
twist your head around
it’s all around you
all is full of love
all around you

When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.
it’s just an old war,
not even a cold war,
don’t say it in russian,
don’t say it in german.
say it in broken english,

Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything – anger, anxiety, or possessions – we cannot be free.
hyvyyden varjo peittää kyyneleen,
löytäneen luo vie askeleen.
rauha saa, kehto uneen tuudittaa.
toivo jää, tie rakkauteen.
tie syvään vaupauteen.
