Free
To Be Me
July
is a special month in that it reminds us of our freedom
and what our founding fathers worked so hard to achieve.
It
is time to honor those brave men and women of the past.
But what about honoring your own personal and emotional
freedom?
|
Often we forget that we are FREE TO BE who we want to be.
We are not just mothers/fathers, wives/husbands, brothers/sisters,
worker, self-employed, and so on...
We
ARE unique individuals!
We
have unique feelings, ideas, creative modes, ups and downs,
and more.
So
raise the flag that says:
I
AM FREE TO BE ME!

Intention
Exercise: FREE TO BE ME
Please have a pad and pen close by so you
can record your thoughts or answers.
| It
is time to set the stage by putting on some soft music.
Take the phone off the hook, turn off your cell phone and
BE FULLY PRESENT for this exercise.
Close
your eyes....relax, relax.....every part of your body....just
relax.
Let
go of any worries or concerns...this is your time...relax,
just relax.
Now
imagine yourself in front of a mirror...what do you see?
Is the person in the mirror happy, sad, feels like no
one understand you or accepts you... be honest this is
YOUR time.
Now
imagine that you are talking to the image in the mirror..what
is the image saying?
Are
you ready to let your image in the mirror join you in
saying I AM FREE TO BE ME?
What
is holding you back? Talk to the image and when you are
ready to love and accept who you are then imagine that
you are hugging your image.
The
image in the mirror is now shouting to you I am FREE
to be me! I AM free to be me! I am FREE
to be me...join your image as you chant
I
AM FREE TO BE ME NOW • I AM FREE TO BE ME NOW! •
I AM FREE TO BE ME NOW!
Feel
the joy, the truth of that chant - be one with it.
When
you are ready, slowly open your eyes, breathe in and exhale...and
go on with your daily activities all the while singing
to yourself or out loud
I
AM FREE TO BE ME NOW • I AM FREE TO BE ME NOW! •
I AM FREE TO BE ME NOW!

The
two of us had not eaten for almost three days. Generally
the restaurants would dump their scraps into the dumpster,
located in the alley-way, at the end of each shift. But
for some unknown reason there was nothing to be found.
We had been on the run for two days.
We had left the orphanage at about seven o'clock Friday
evening. He and I planned to head out for California as
soon as we raised enough money to start hitch-hiking.
Wayne Evers had just turned eleven the week before, and
I was a few months younger than he. We were use to the
streets of Jacksonville, Florida. We had run away many
times and we never had a problem finding food or raising
money. For hours we wondered from restaurant to restaurant
looking in the garage cans in search of food.
As we past a large, red brick church
on Park Street we noticed a man standing behind a restaurant
peeling potatoes. We watched as he peeled each one and
then threw them into a large metal tub. We must have stood
there for five minutes just watching, neither one of us
saying a word. We automatically knew that dinner was close
at hand. Once the man finished peeling he reached down,
grabbed the water hose, and he began washing the potatoes.
With eyes opened wide we watched as he cleaned up the
peelings and packed them into a large paper bag. As he
was about to throw the skins into the garage can he looked
up and saw us staring at him.
"Can I help you boys?" he
yelled out.
"Were just looking," Wayne
yelled back at him.
"You two boys might as well head
on down the road. You are not getting these here potatoes,"
he said, in a somewhat gruff sounding voice.
"We was gonna ask if we could have
those peeling skins," Wayne said.
"You ain't getting them either,"
he said, as he opened the door and sat the bag inside.
"Ain't you just gonna throw'm away
anyway. Ain't that what you was gonna do?" I asked.
"You two get out of here before
I call the police. You hear me?" said the man.
"But were hungry. Can we please
have the peelings?" I begged.
The man stood there for several moments and then he said
"I'll tell you what. You boys clean up all these
papers and hose down this back are and I'll give you the
peelings."
"That's a deal," hollered
Wayne, as we began running around the small lot picking
up the papers and trash.
Within 30 minutes the area was totally clean. I turned
on the water and I began to hose down the cement for as
far as the small hose would reach. When all was done we
walked up to the back door and began to knock. After three
or four knocks the door jerked open and there stood the
man with a very angry look on his face.
"I thought I told you little tramps
to get the hell out of here," he screamed.
"But you said..," I started
to say.
"The police are on their way. You
had best get your little asses on the move," he said,
as he came walking toward us.
Wayne and I backed up as the large man neared where we
were standing. He and I stopped when we reached the sidewalk.
"That's not a fair thing to do,"
said Wayne.
"And were hungry," I blurted
out.
"I don't give a rats ass if you
little bastards starve to death," said the man, as
he looked down the street to see if the police were coming.
"But we wasn't asking for something
for free. It was something that you was gonna thrown away
anyway. And besides we worked for it," I hollered
at the man.
"A couple of stupid fools is what
you two are," he replied.
"But don't you care if we is hungry?"
Wayne asked the man.
I reached over and slapped Wayne on the arm when I saw
a police car pull up to the red light and stop. He and
took off running between the large building. We did not
stop until we were at least ten blocks away from the restaurant.
It is strange how that incident affected
my life. Each time that I peel potatoes I always think
about that man and how hungry Wayne and I were. But more
than that I will always remember how cruel people can
be to one another, and for no reason, whatsoever. I understood
being mistreated in the orphanage. But why would anyone
in the outside world be cruel to another human being for
no reason? That I have never been able to understand.
