With bound hands I long for freedom

It's not true, and it's arrogant to claim or pretend it is. Somewhere in an earlier blog I wrote something like, "Well, I'm awake, how about you?" How can I claim to be awake? How can I claim to be free? How can I claim to have got it all together? As Bass'n'Helen sing (http://youtu.be/pdoZvhsERg8) "Käsin sidotuin kaipaan vapauteen" - which roughly translates as "With bound hands I long for freedom". Yes, I have that longing, yes I yearn, yes I pray "How long, O Lord, how long." But I ain't arrived. My hands are bound. And I long for freedom.

Awake me! This blog needs to be woken up! Let's see if I can.

Your fellow-traveller, Michael
