PERFECTLY FREE

“I stand up, and this one of me
Turns into a hundred of me
They say I circle around you
Nonsense. I circle around me.

Dance, when you’re broken open
Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off
Dance in the middle of the fighting
Dance in your blood
Dance, when you’re perfectly free.”

(Poem by Rumi 1207-1273)

Freedom lasts because we are under the sword of the Lord and not because we are under our own sword. We are under the Lord’s protection and not our own. Dance, because we are perfectly free.

“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” Jesus
