It is said in the land of Massa, horse riding is a privilege for few as you don’t choose the horse; the horse chooses you. The souls of the rider and horse becoming bonded together in an unbreakable unity. Esyria never imagined she would experience this kind of bond, being a mere servant and bodyguard in her master’s harem. She would spend her evenings dancing in her master’s court and guarding his room, feeling lifeless and void inside. Until the day he purchased a horse and Esyria was tasked with caring for it. One evening when caring for horse in the stables, she looked into his eyes and in that moment his soul chose hers. Knowing her master intended to merely use the horse for a trophy, she could not bare this fate for him and decided to leave her master and head east to a new land, a new life. Esyria rode tirelessly for three days and three nights in the harsh Massan desert, until she was certain her master and his men were out of reach. In that moment Esyria felt free, as she dismounted from her new companion and looked into his eyes. The warm desert winds caressing her face tears of joy came upon her. She never would have had the courage to do what she did if it weren’t for this horse, whom she would call Hasma; meaning "Freedom".

Your freedom is oppressing my freedom : detail of a work at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
All I want is freedom
To take away the world's pain
All I want is freedom
To never feel hunger again
All I want is freedom
To love my own way
All I want is freedom
To make all the wars go away
All I want is freedom
To glide over my forgotten past
All I want is freedom..
Maybe that's too much to ask.

It is a kind of freedom to anyone who is in the society and is a part of the society's good citizen but he/she is not bound by its pattern of lifestyle, common practises and believe systems. Like this single tomato which is free from the bondage of the main branch and yet it remains in its original position to remains a part of a nice formation of tomatos.
I WILL not follow you, my bird,
I will not follow you.
I would not breathe a word, my bird,
To bring thee here anew.
I love the free in thee, my bird,
The lure of freedom drew;
The light you fly toward, my bird,
I fly with thee unto.
And there we yet will meet, my bird,
Though far I go from you
Where in the light outpoured, my bird,
Are love and freedom too.
~ George William (“A. E.”) Russell (1867–1935)

But man, proud man,
Drest in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he's most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape,
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep.

Please take heart there is a reason for people to talk past their borders. This is rooted in the human desire to communicate. It is both unquenchable and unstoppable.
BIRD
I would call it a state of sad affairs
This is how the world changes
each tap of this keyboard
they can not hide behind
their walls any longer
we are seeking truth
and beauty
trying to link
with others around us
who are the creative engine
that is leveraging the internet
one webpage at a time
to push the boundaries of
originality
creativity
we are like water pushing past limits
seeking our level
we are awash in resourcefulness
which knows no bounds
we are not a threat
we are a promise
look in our eyes
we are your positive future
turn off the lights
and there will be nothing
but darkness
again
but get real
we see in the dark

On the occasion of the first half of the freedom tunnels being buffed, spent a day alone painting the portrait of Robert Moses, the visionary behind the west side improvement project that extended the west side highway towards the Bronx and inhumed the exposed freight tracks underground. The rest is well known history and lore, as is the career of this magnanimous infrastructural tyrant.
Never got a good shot so these will have to suffice until I can go back down and take a panorama

Thank you all for your comments & stars :)
E' un termine presente in quasi tutti i dizionari : facoltà dell’uomo di agire e di pensare in piena autonomia.
Ci sono state sempre delle epoche e dei luoghi, purtroppo, in cui questa parola ha perso o non ha mai avuto significato.
Ancora oggi in Birmania, e in tanti altri luoghi, si cerca di restituire un significato a questa parola.

"واحتج الآلاف في لندن على مقتل الصحفية شيرين أبو عاقلة "زهرة فلسطين
On Saturday 14 May, thousands assembled in London, both to commemorate the Nakba and also to protest the murder by the Israeli Army of the veteran Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh ("the daughter of Palestine"), while she was covering one of many recent raids by the Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday 11 May, against the West Bank town of Jenin.
SHIREEN ABU AKLEH'S MURDER
"And if they ask you about Palestine, tell them:
In it there is a martyr,
nursed by a martyr,
photographed by a martyr,
sent off by a martyr,
and prayed for by a martyr"
( Mahmoud Darwish)
Initially, Israeli authorities insisted that she had been killed by Palestinian gunmen, but on the ground examination of the video used to support this claim by the leading Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem, clearly demonstrated that it was taken far from the location where Shireen had been shot dead in the face, despite the fact that she was wearing a flack jacket and helmet, both clearkly marked 'Press.' Other Journalists who were present at the scene also testified that it was Israeli soldiers who fired the lethal shots, and that there was no clash as was first claimed, a claim which was also echoed by the mainstream media in Britain and the United States.
Her murder came just days after the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS), the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) and the International Federation of Journalists had filed an official complaint at the Hague against Israel for 'the systematic targeting of Palestinian journalists,' with an estimate of fifty having been killed in the last twenty years according to PJS records.
Palestinian anger mounted on Friday 13 May, when Israeli police attacked the mourners in East Jerusalem with batons as they exited St. Joseph's Hospital with the coffin on the way to a local church. Al Jazeera's live video coverage and the testimony of witnesses all seemed to indicate that the attack was entirely unprovoked, with no evidence of 'stone throwing' as suggested by Israeli authorities.
Even had there been any such incident, the police action was entirely disproportionate, smashing a window of the hearse to remove a Palestine flag and her coffin was momentarily dropped as the police attacked even the pallbearers. As the assault was broadcast live around the world, it seemed to be yet further evidence of the complete impunity Israel believes it has, due to the almost unconditional support it receives from the United States, Britain and other Western nations. Diplomatic statements of concern are the most severe sanction the West ever imposes.
In a pathetic response to a question raised in parliament, Amanda Milling, Minister of State for Asia and the Middle East, explained that she had 'publicly expressed my sadness upon hearing the news of the tragic death of veteran Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, and called for a thorough investigation... The safety of journalists across the globe is vital and they must be protected when carrying out their critical work.' It seems Israel will once again escape any meaningful consequence for its actions.
However, it's not just that the United Kingdom turns a blind eye to Israeli violence - it also actively supports it.
Israeli pilots are routinely invited to the UK to train alongside the RAF, while the British and Israeli navies also routinely engage in joint exercises, all at a time when Israel's air force regularly attacks civilian infrastructure in Gaza (including Al Jazeera's offices in May 2021) killing 64 civilians since 2010 and when Israel's navy operates to blockade Gaza, where as a consequence one third of essential drugs are unavailable, 54% of the population are food insecure and 95% of the population have no access to safe drinking water.

Israel's largest arms company, Elbit Systems, also continues to run subsidiaries within the UK, and the UK continues to supply Israel with crucial military equipment, particularly for aircraft and radar systems.

COMMEMORATION OF THE NAKBA
Palestine solidarity demonstrations to commemorate the Nakba are held annually in London, usually on the Saturday before Nakba Day (15 May), the commemoration of the forced expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes by Israel, which accelerated following the declaration of establishment of the state of Israel on 14 May 1948.
Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion had informed his political and military colleagues that an Israeli state in which Jews made up only 60 per cent of the population was not viable. As Israeli historian Ilan Pappe points out, the obvious implication was that "the fewer Palestinians in a Jewish state the better."
www.versobooks.com/blogs/3809-the-nakba-and-the-ethnic-cl...
The Nakba had already started as early as November 1947 as British forces. which controlled the Palestine mandate, withdrew to the Port of Haifa leaving Jewish paramilitary groups to control the remaining areas. By May 1948 300,000 Arab residents of the areas within Palestine designated to become Israel had already been expelled, including many Arab residents Jaffa, Safad, Beisan, Acre and Western Jerusalem. That amounted to nearly two out of every five Arabs living on what would be Israel's side of the demarcation line. Most of the remainder were forced out of their homes in the subsequent months.
Israel's military ethnically cleansed some 530 Palestinian towns and villages, destroying almost all the mosques and many of the houses and committing appalling crimes against those Palestinians who had chosen to remain despite the threat of violence. It is estimated that some 15,000 Palestinians were murdered.

The American Bald Eagle gained immediate, unofficial recognition as our National bird when the Great Seal of the United States was adopted on June 20, 1782. Official designation of the massive bird that has a wingspan of from 6 to 8 feet did not come however, for six more years.
In 1789 George Washington became our Nation's first President and the American Bald Eagle became our Country's official bird. Almost 150 years later the American Bald Eagle was protected under the National Emblem Act of 1940.
President John F. Kennedy later wrote:
"The Founding Fathers made an appropriate choice when they selected the bald eagle as the emblem of the nation. The fierce beauty and proud independence of this great bird aptly symbolizes the strength and freedom of America."
