""Our subjectivity
Is a mirrored,
Spiked casket."
Sometimes I wonder if there is any more to this world than just the longing to be free. Perhaps everyone with a sense of purpose in their lives achieves some level of that freedom. Some people say it all comes down to gratitude. I look around and feel grateful for all I have, but that also only serves to deepen and focus a certain longing and hope for other gifts--those gifts that, some people say, might not free me after all. But how to have freedom from want without growing callous? And so I dare to stay open, despite my sense of lack and unworthiness.
