Are you a robot, or on autopilot? Do you flow with the river, or go upstream like a salmon? Never the ache of hunger, nor the fear of a bear’s claws. Do you blow away in the storm like hollow-rooted trees, or stand a house of careful planning? Do watching eyes chain you, a canvas of their design, or are you a dancer of your own rhythm? Why the confusion? Why bear the weight of illusion? Break the shackles of your mind. It’s only you — and no one cares. Free the legs you self-bound. Be an eagle atop the misty clouds. Every drop in the ocean is swept by the tide. It is everyday for them. But for you — it is a privilege to glance around.

Autopilot?
