unafraid to be free

" finally unafraid to be free,
ready to surrender all the illusions of
recognition and external securities,
living off the sky and earth like soaring
eagles and braying burros,
trusting in power even beyond dow jones
and hoarded retirement.
finally ready to live like the noble animal
that i am--
without masters or servants,
with dignity dependent on no one,
content to know that i am God's child,
and only good has prepared for me.
when i am not afraid to release all that
my life and culture taught me to prize.
to abandon fears once and for all, to discard the
anxieties of a lifetime like a suit that no longer fits,
to be afraid of no one, beholden to no one,
dependent on no one
save the few who know and love me as i am,
and the God Who alone gives meaning and joy
to the madness of my life"

here's another poem that i posted in my blog and want to share to everyone out there in the blog world written by james kavanaugh. he is also one of my favorite poet that i admired and been reading his poems ever since i was a freshman in a catholic highschool for boys in the early seventies in san francisco. i just love his style and the way he writes his poems. james
kavanaugh for me is an inspiration. i grew up in a catholic family and can understand how hard it must have been for him to leave the priesthood and then to speak so contrary to basic catholic tenants. still he did so following one guiding principal. if there is one person you must be truthful with it is yourself.
i guess this is it na for this thursday evening. i gotta get my sleep beauty rest...eheheh...after a hard days work for me i really needed it badly. i still got one more day to tackle at my work before the weekend. and friday is usually our most hectic day trying to finish all the work before the weekend. at least tomorrow will be friday na for me and to make it more sweeter it's our payday again. greenbacks. dead president. more money to spend. hmmmm...that's giving me an idea to buy something behind my wife's back...eheheh. thinking about buying the last beach boy's concert dvd done in london in the early eighties. kinda getting the feeling of being an old fart watch long gone music groups...eheheh...hey, i still like to listen to their music eventhough it's already in the 21st century. brings back old memories in my growing up
years. i guess this is it na for me. time to blog-off. Godbless and chow :P'.
