shared

On a train we passed the places, sharing lives and experiences.
What was shared with me, I hid; found again in time of need.
I will share it now with you, having proven it is true:


"No one is truly free who is still attached to material things, or to places or people. We must be able to use things when we need them and then relinquish them without regret when they have outlived their usefulness. We must be able to appreciate and enjoy the places where we tarry and yet pass on without anguish when we are called elsewhere. We must be able to live in loving association with people without feeling that we posses them or must run their lives. Anything that you strive to hold captive will hold you captive and if we desire freedom you must give freedom."
