We Are Free

I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.

I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.

I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.

I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.

I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.

I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.

I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence, walking with the wisdom of the heart.

I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.

I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others.

And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.

I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.

I respect and approve.

I honor the Divinity in me and in you.

We are free.

Emotional Freedom – Keanu Reeves

“Keep your distance from those who never own up to their mistakes and always pin the blame on you. When someone refuses to admit they’re wrong, they create an environment of perpetual conflict and emotional drain – a space where accountability is replaced by constant deflection. In such relationships, you quickly learn that you’re not being valued as a whole person, but rather as a scapegoat for their inability to face their own shortcomings.”

Remember: this behavior isn’t about you – it’s about them. Their unwillingness to acknowledge fault is a reflection of their own fear, pride, and sometimes deep-seated insecurity. They manipulate the narrative so that every misstep, every conflict, is your fault. Over time, this can erode your self-confidence and leave you questioning your worth. It becomes an exhausting cycle of self-doubt, guilt, and emotional turmoil.

Protecting your energy means recognizing that you deserve relationships where accountability and empathy are mutual. It means setting clear boundaries with those who distort reality to shield their own ego. By keeping a respectful distance, you create space to nurture your own well-being, allowing you to grow without being held back by others’ inability to take responsibility.

When you surround yourself with people who can own their mistakes, listen with openness, and engage in honest dialogue, you build a support system that uplifts you. In these relationships, trust is not a game of shifting blame, but a foundation for genuine connection. You become empowered to walk away from toxic patterns, reclaiming your strength and self-worth.

Remember, the journey to emotional freedom begins with acknowledging your own value. You have the right to choose the company that respects and mirrors your integrity. When you refuse to absorb misplaced blame, you not only preserve your peace – you inspire others to do the same.

Masculine – Freedom & the Feminine

The masculine has three choices when it comes to freedom and the feminine…

The masculine in all of us seeks freedom.

The freedom to be the master of one’s own destiny.

The freedom to explore power and love on his own terms.

But there is no guarantee that the masculine will ever actually experience freedom.

Because he must grapple with the feminine

And that adds a whole layer of complexity.

Can you imagine a world with no women?

What do you imagine men would be doing?

Yet we do not live in such a world

We never will.

And so inherent to men and the masculine

Is a desire to meet the feminine

To experience intimacy with woman.

For most men, this is a perennial desire

And struggle.

He wants freedom

And he wants her.

How to resolve the two?

There are only really three options…

1. Freedom FROM the feminine

This is the realm of the f*&k boi, the man going his own way, and the tyrant.

“Woman cannot control me!” is his slogan.

He refuses to allow the impulse to merge with the feminine have any say in the matter, and so he keeps her at bay.

For the f*&k boi and player, oh he will explore intimacy… the most superficial kind… but the moment she gets close enough to have any influence over his internal world, his freedom… he is gone.

Onto the next one in an endless parade of novelty seeking.

The man going his own way simply gives up, and off into the wilderness of freedom he goes… no need for her, I’ll be fine. A dog, beans out of a tin and a caravan (or perhaps something nicer too).

And the tyrant… well he may be in a relationship, yet his intense need to be uncontrolled makes him controlling. Think of Scarface, the Wolf of Wall Street, Casino… he gets the girl, but she never ever ever gets him, not really and he will fight her until the abusive end to ensure it stays that way.

To be free from the feminine is to give up any real chance of experiencing intimacy with her.

2. Abdicating freedom TO the feminine

Sadly many men will simply roll over and hand the keys to their wild masculine essence to her.

“You are the boss” he will simper, as he spends the next years trying, and failing, to make her happy.

Even more sad is how many women will coerce a man into this scenario believing it will provide her the safety and security she is craving, as the forces the submission of his power that she is also craving.

Women will utterly break men this way.

And weak men will allow themselves to be broken.

This is the saddest choice of all… and the only outcome is a gnawing core of bitterness.

Nothing worthwhile can grow from this scenario.

Let us grieve for how many relationships in the world are, right now, festering in this pit of patheticness.

3. Freedom WITH the feminine

The last choice left to a man is to reconcile his desire for intimacy with her, with his own wild inner freedom.

This is a man who recognises that true freedom comes from within.

The feminine can never take it from him, and so he never has to fight her for it.

Freedom is not the ability to do whatever, whenever he wants… that is the freedom of a teenager exploring his first taste of independence… rather it is an internal experience that he uses to shine, to unleash his power in the most benevolent of ways.

This is a man who is the master of his own domain, the keeper of his kingdom.

And like any good King, he has a Queen next to him.

He is not beholden to her, he co-creates with her.

Reciprocal complementary polarity.

His unique gifts meets hers and together they create more than they could ever possibly do alone.

Freedom is not some set of circumstances that needs to be rigidly controlled to be felt… it is a place within.

Freedom is his

It always was

And it always will be

Nothing can ever take it away.

When a man embodies this… he soars.

And he is finally capable of the true depths of intimacy that are possible with a worthy mate.

Shine Brightly

“She walks the earth freely, yet her feet never touch the ground. Many hands will reach for her, but she cannot be anchored. She belongs to no one, to nothing, to nowhere. When you meet her, you will recognize her for what she is–a free spirit, a wandering star. She will fit in your arms like she was made to be there. And she will show you what it means to hold something you can never hold on to.”

  • Lang Leav

A term I have loved since I first read those wonderful words of Yeats, of the “white breast of the dim sea, and of its disheveled, wandering stars”. While astrologically used to describe the motion of the planets, “wandering stars” arrived within me as something deeper, a metaphor for my own being. Just as the planets themselves are in motion encircling the sun; so are we, bright children of the stars, endlessly dancing yet fixed in our own celestial journeying.

Because no matter the darkness, we are wild light. It can be hard to remember that, sometimes we dim, or spend so much time looking around at the darkness that we forget our own light.

I want you to stop for this moment, and remember that light. If you need some reconnection. Close your eyes and focus on the great light of G-d just above your head. Envision that light pouring down through your crown chakra, infusing your body with its heavenly radiance. Let it flow through you filling every space, down through your feet and into the earth. Breathe into it, and with every inhale, allow your glow to become ever brighter.

(Remember.)

We are all the children of stars, infused with celestial and spiritual light, abiding in a magic that has no textual equivalent. This is why I art. To describe the souls progression, longing and intent as it exists beyond my ability to articulate it. To remind me of who and what I really am.

(And hopefully to remind you too.)

And so with this work, I will not attempt to overdefine it. It is a story of sisters intertwined, of ancient longing, of cosmic purpose that exists though few may understand it. Just as one woman carries a veil of stars, and the other the moon, their intent is only revealed to the careful study of the viewer’s eye. It longs to tell it’s story to those who have the eyes to hear it

To those that know, here on this earth, that they too are forever the wandering stars, dancing not despite the darkness, but because of it.

It is how we shine the brightest.
