The spirit of this essay is more important to me than it's actual content. It isn't to say that I'd like the content is to be brushed off, like dust from a shelf, but that the essence of these words come from a more valuable place in my heart, and therefore are crucial for me to effectively communicate.
It's the spirit of freedom which exists, even within the confines of the darkest cages of bondage. It's a spirit which flies high and effortlessly above the laborious, day to day activities of life; even while remaining in the reality we experience of consistent obstacles to overcome in life it remains innocent and faithful.

We have goals which have been accomplished and milestones which have been reached but the cares of life, in the moment, steal away such precious magic. We got our first car, kissed for the first time, fell in love, got the job, started a family, won first place, or even assisted in saving a life! Such memories of wonder and magic are overthrown so easily by the bills which need paying, the next fight with our spouse, the job which feels so constricting, and the questions of what more could have been done to save a life lost.
