Aspiring to Freedom

Today’s Mary Magdalene drawing

How do we stay positive and creative while living the normal life of human beings?

Artists don’t usually live such a life, and people who dedicate their life to spirituality don’t either. They have a shield that protects them from the exterior world. They may have routines, but their routines are chosen and cultivated on purpose.

Out here in the world, it’s different. A work day can be brutal. And unless we are within a sense of purpose and joy, each day is living to survive.

When we aspire to freedom, how free are we willing to live?
