Photo of fences in Victoria, Australia, by the Author
There is peace in boundaries
In knowing that beyond certain fences
Lie lands that make wild promises
But sow seeds of devastation
There is wisdom in boundaries
In knowing that some restrictions heal
While others oppress, and that
I can know the difference between them
There is joy in boundaries
In knowing that while I long to be free
True freedom requires restraint
And so, smiling, I dance toward the light
Everything we say yes to implies a no to something else (or at least a not yet). The latter are the boundaries that protect our time as well as our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.
