So Absolutely Free

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” -Albert Camus

I’m interested in Mr. Camus. I don’t know his works yet, which is strange because he is often grouped with existential writers. And I tend to appreciate existential ideas.

Anyways, this week I’ve relished my freedom. My freedom to find my own peace. My freedom to find calm in chaos and beauty in the ordinary. And especially, my freedom to do not a damn thing while I soaked in the bath and then slathered on 5 different scented lotions just because it was the sensory experience I desired. Believe it or not, two years ago I wouldn’t let myself do that because it was a waste. Today, I did it, and it was exactly what I needed.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
