Ninety-third Day



I read two articles this morning that made me think about the boundaries we all live within.

Why I Run In Prison by Rahsaan Thomas and printed in Outside Magazine, is about a man's physical boundary and how he's learning to survive within the boundary.

Falling by William McPherson and printed in Hedgehog Review in 2014, is about a man's material boundary and how he's also learned how to survive within the boundary.

Even the most powerful among us are affected by the boundary of our lifespan, at the least.

Our world and our life is defined by boundaries.
As life changes, our boundaries are redefined, either by ourselves or others, and we have to adjust.

People in a physical prison have to find ways to redefine their lives.
Even those of us not in a physical prison are often discovering we've allowed ourselves to be beholden to 'boundaries' that aren't real.  We need to find ways to redefine our lives as well.

We have the power to live without boundaries.  We live on this Earth and there are certain 'rules' I guess I don't know how to live outside of - scientific, physical...reality.  But, within that, we have the power to expand ourselves beyond the boundaries.  With our mind, we can connect with our Universal Self to get a better understanding of the TRUTH about 'life'.
When we do that, the boundaries we're living within won't feel limiting.

That's what I thought about this morning.
