Freedom is a heavy load

Freedom is a heavy load few will shoulder for long.

This is a reflection on having closed my practice. During the practice, I had little time to do my reflective work. Now, I have the time, yet the freedom is heavy, and it is hard to push myself to concentrate on what I need and most want to do: instead it is easy to fritter away the opportunities. One person suggested that structure is freeing. Indeed. I need to structure my days around study and writing, walking and talking, chores and poiein.

Freedom is also a heavy load because it is a responsibility. To do something good in the world, better than you have done ever before.
