“Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty.” Henry David Thoreau
Free Range Things of importance begin on the fringe where free range ideas can graze quite openly, unrestrained and without filters, funnels or rails, through the lush fields of juicy possibilities. Where free range ideas can graze quite openly across the plains of unrestricted thoughts, through the lush fields of juicy possibilities, here there are no points, only opportunities. Across the plains of unrestricted thoughts, where stories carry the meaning and weight, here there are no points, only opportunities in the letting go of all the accepted givens. Where stories carry the meaning and weight, unrestrained and without filters, funnels or rails, in the letting go of all the accepted givens, things of importance usually begin on the fringe.

I love the idea of free range ideas grazing quite openly… through lush fields of juicy possibilities… What a lovely picture that conjures in my mind, Paul!

While I love the thought of a mind ranging free, Thoreau’s quote doesn’t sit quite right with me in light of the January 6th insurrection in the US.

I get that, difficult, but in the light of 1776 – slightly more positive, what do you think?. I feel that it is always yin and yang, the risk it there for negative all the time, but somehow we need to offer the opportunity for the positive revolution in spite of the risk. My choice is non-violent, non-harming, Jan 6 was none of that – horrible.

You make a good point about the yin and yang of civil disobedience, civil rights movements (for and against) being a case in point.

Never quite seems to go away though, which is my hope.

Marvelous how you used a structured poetic form to express free range of ideas. You did it well. In fact the repetition of the lines helped me grasp the ideas even better. Brilliant.
