Freedom also has the gift of allowing one to either accept the ill-winds of the day or to turn away.

This is a great message to all members at the den and far beyond. Freedom can well be exercised when it is limited with the boundries of respect, humanity and sound ethics .... otherwise is "a liscence for abuse" Thanks ZE for sharing this well written, profound poem.

Wonderful sentiments penned in a sensitive and thoughtful way, Zenith. "Freedom doesn't mean a license for abuse" - so well put. It would be great if we took as much delight in exercising our responsibility to care for each other as we do in our right to self-expression! I think a good description of "meekness", which people often mistake for "weakness" is: "restrained strength". Those truly to be respected are those who put others before themselves, perhaps; they've no need to draw attention to themselves - people just notice them and "raise them up". Thought-provoking, thank you. KB
