FREE SPIRIT: If you discover, that you have a free spirit, able to realize your own dreams, climbing up using your developed talents: then this will be the step into freedom. A dictator makes many slaves to follow him. An individual free spirit feels: I am what I am. No beasts above me. No governor, no priest, no dictator. I recently read, that atheists in the USA have some problems to be accepted in a social network. As an European I have to add: That’s not good: Have respect for those who are free, even if they are atheists or escape from the army as deserteurs. Maybe they can see clearer – because they have a free spirit!

view my slide show, featuring the whole action: and you will notice, that she is not alone. Maybe this is my subtle message: it’s easier to do such a job with a friend, NOT alone. Being alone is sad…
[P.S.: background music to the slide show: me on rhythm guitar
and my most talented friend Luzz, who has a real free spirit]

thank you for:
Conformity is the norm in China
and I think being a free spirit
is certainly not encouraged.

Frizz, the fun and freedom in both pictures and music are so full of wonderful spirit. I have always felt it quite sad that fear of death, and subsequent eternal damnation reigned in by religious restrictions and promises of reward in the after life, should rob so many of life’s ultimate gift – free spirit.

An important and poignant message. Intolerance frustrates me. I will probably always remember the way that you said it: “Have respect for those who are free, even if they are atheists…Maybe they can see clearer – because they have a free spirit!”
