Feeling trapped? Unlock the gates to freedom!
There was the scrape of metal against metal as the door opened, but the prisoner sat unmoving, not comprehending the freedom that stood in front of him. It wasn’t until the lock on the cell next to him was removed and his sister bolted without looking back, that he decided to follow suit. Shortly thereafter, his brother’s cage was opened, and the trio, newly liberated, disappeared into the brush.
The three coyote siblings had been given a new lease on life when a rancher agreed to let an animal rescue organization release the adolescent orphans onto his property. On this vast tract of undeveloped land, the youngsters would be free to be what they were meant to be, roaming unconfined amidst the cactus and mesquite trees.
Freedom to be what we were meant to be—isn’t that what we all want? That feeling of being unrestricted, unchained, untied to anything that would hold us back from a harmonious, healthy, and happy life. And yet many of us may feel caged in by fear or circumstances such as poor health or difficult relationships. How can the “locks” be removed so that we can experience a greater sense of freedom in our lives?
