Be Free

No more running down the wrong road
Dancing to a different drum
Can't you see what's going on
Deep inside your heart?
--Michael McDonald

Over the past couple of months, countless conversations, messages, etc have ended with the words 'be well' or 'be safe.' Not once have I heard these words: 'be free.'

Staying free is the primary challenge in a world of authoritarian rule. Trading freedom for a modicum of temporary security is a deal with the devil.

Be free.
