Being fully present to oneself is freedom from the tyranny of the past and fear of the future.

**

Freedom is not created, which means it cannot be destroyed any more than the onset of night destroys the light of the sun; and we are never “nearer” to knowing this True Freedom than when we dare to enter the darkness within us armed only with the remembrance of this fact.

In the end there is only one real freedom… and that is whether or not we give ourselves — freely — to what each moment asks of us.
