Free to be Bound

The coming week marks the celebration of freedom, Passover.
Every year we go around the table asking each person present to say what he or she wants to be free of, for themselves or for the world. Just like in beauty pageants, "World Peace" looms large, for those who don't wish to declare their personal prisons at the dinner table. It always makes us laugh.
I think this year I'd like to concentrate on freedoms we already have in our lives. I thought how lucky we are that we are able to choose who we bind ourselves to in our life. The inner freedom we all possess to be able to love who or what we love, and understand the personal responsibility that comes with this particular freedom, as with any other.
