"Wherever you are, whatever you do, you will only be as Free as you free your mind of fear." Quote from Russian prisonner about to be questioned by nazis.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
What a true sentiment you quote, Lorraine. I like your framing in the photo. Those stones and island must have seen so much history.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
The lonely island in your image made me remember a quotation: "We come alone and we leave alone; everything else is a gift" Only that I forgot WHO said it (?!) Few of us can afford to feel free....I believe we're really free only at the END.
You see....your posting made me philosophize!!!!

@Japanalia: Philosophize away Gabriela, lol yes we have to shield our physical body to really get free, still I agree with the quote, thanks so much :)
