Awareness

By

Bill Cottringer

You think you are free?

Awareness is the key;

What to be aware of?

Well, for starters,

Try noticing something,

A thing you haven’t noticed;

Like the power of pride,

Ego, distrust and false beliefs;

Start being free by realizing,

One very important thing—

All you think you know,

May not be necessarily so,

Opening your closed mind,

To learning something important,

About what you don’t know;

In giving up pride of ownership,

You gain the humility of freedom;

That is the meaning of the saying,

The truth shall set you free,

As awareness you see,

Has always been the key,

Being the simplest truth,

With nothing to add,

Say or take away.
