To be free

When are you most free?

For my son it is skating

For me it is nature alone time

For you....?

P.s. also when I am meditate and breathing very deeply and slowly

[JohnPB]

I am most free when I am bicycling or hiking. I do not skate because I 'm a cheapskate, LOL!

[Starrlight in reply to Blueruth]

Awesome

[Dolphin14]

This is where I am free.

What a beautiful spot to skate

Anywhere in nature is a great place to escape. So many options of what to do.

Free

You are right now! 🙃 Dolphin=skilled

[Kkimm]

Great question!!I agree with all of the above except that my skating days are over.

Swimming in a beautiful lake, river or the sea as well as being with nature and enjoying my garden. We have just loved watching a wild mallard duck 🦆 bring up her ducklings on the wildlife pond we have made in our garden. The two ducklings who have chosen to stay are full grown now.

Today I swam half a mile in rough sea, parallel to the shore for safety, it was heavenly but quite hard going at the end. I swim between marker points so I know the distance. The sea was a perfect temperature and the golden sands were so beautiful.

Woot! That’s just beautiful

[Dubba61]

Oh! That Child has such lovely hair! Mine used to be that Colour.🧓. Ermm..Free, walking on the Beach, and Swimming. I,m a fire sign n seem to be in my element around Water. 🏊

[Starrlight in reply to Dubba61]

Thanks! That’s so cool! I don’t recall my sign ... hmmmm I’ll have to find out interesting

[lisa40509]

In the water swimming. Not only the gentle waves or the hum of the pool filter but the signs you are so tense without realizing it. In the water this prevents buoyancy so you have to be aware and mindful to allow yourself to relax and be in the moments.

[Starrlight in reply to lisa40509]

I’m imagining and it sounds like it can be so relaxing ...

[Isinatra]

My feelings of true freedom came when I was visiting the west and it’s mountains. Seeing the earth as it once was, made me see how insignificant my worries were and I felt serene for a few moments. Not even my thoughts could touch me and I was overcome by awe. Freedom of self….

[Starrlight in reply to Isinatra]

Soooo Beautiful

In the ocean

When I am with animals

[Roxylox]

When walking on the beach

When dancing to my favourite music

[Isinatra in reply to Roxylox]

What music do you like to dance to, Roxy? 💃

[Roxylox in reply to Isinatra]

Fast disco or rock mostly. Some of Robbie Williams can have me itching to dance - Rock DJ, Let me Entertain You

Night Fever by Bee Gees, Funkytown, The Walk of Life by Dire Straits, Thunderstruck by ACDC. .

Lots that I can't recall, as you see, 70's and 80's stuff mostly.

Haven't danced in the kitchen in ages now, must get back ' Into the Groove', as per Madonna.

Do you like to dance Isinatra, and , if so, to what kind of music.

Husband and I did ballroom dancing lessons many years ago, but are not very good.

[Isinatra in reply to Roxylox]

You are right up my alley, Roxy! I guess next to mountains, dancing would be my other freedom. 70s and 80s….the best! I even love to watch the old Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers dancing. So cool you tried the ballroom thing. It’s so beautiful to watch. Glamorous and romantic. Anybody can “twerk” or jump up and down to heavy metal. Lol Although I have tried twerking and nearly threw my back out! Lol As Sly and the Family Stone said…..Dance To The Music 📻🎶🆒🎶

[Midori]

Out in Nature; something sorely missed during the Pandemic and being stuck inside.

[Kkimm]

Such beautiful images are conjured up from everyone's posts.Being by a beautiful blue green ocean with waves lapping on the shore, the melancholy cries of gulls overhead and the tang of the salt air in my nostrils really does it for me.

[Starrlight in reply to Kkimm]

Love it 😍

[RemySue]

When I'm walking. I generally get 15-23000 steps a day; most with friends but I feel the freest when I'm walking alone. What am I feeling? What unexpected beauty can I find? I also look for hearts in the everywhere.

[Starrlight in reply to RemySue]

❤️ ❤️ 💕 💗

[Saffron_Spice]

I don't feel free in this chapter of my life. I know it is temporary, but I feel weary. I've been dealing with PTSD, anxiety & depression since the onset of the pandemic last year. My inability to work as much as I need to has finally gotten me financially strapped. I think often of giving up, then feel trapped b/c I know giving up isn't an option & the weariness & desperation are heavy lately. I tried to think of when I feel free, the closest I could come to is when I'm on my back porch smoking a cigarette & letting my dog run in the yard while hoping to see a hummingbird come & feed, but worry still lays heavy on my mind even when I'm in that precious space.

[Starrlight in reply to Saffron_Spice]

(((((((((((saffron)))))))))) I love your name and I’m so sorry things are rough. I’m here hoping with you that your precious space will be growing soon. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[Tara52]

[Laykonyde]

Hi starrlight,

The most im free is when im on the pitch playing football.

It makes me completely forget about my worries.

[Starrlight in reply to Laykonyde]

So cool 😎 yeah nothing is in the way I used to feel like that when I painted

[mauv]

When I spend my quiet time with God and in nature!

[Starrlight in reply to mauv]

Niiiice I feel that sometimes too but today it’s like nothing can help it derm feels like

[animefan94]

*trigger warning* That Jesus set me free from sin

[Iammesues]

At the beach, deep breaths of the ocean air, listening to waves. I’m most at peace in my bed. The blankets are my shield and the pillow is my friend
