Man begins to be human only where he has the freedom to oppose bondage to a type. For only there, in freedom, is his being – being responsible; only there “is” man authentically, or only there is man ‘authentic.’*
Viktor Frankl
You are not a type,
You do not have to receive the script, nor the others that will follow,
You can choose to say, No thank you.
Resistance is the beginning of your responsibility and the freedom to be
Your own kind of unrepeatable imperfection, which is always for something, for someone,
Some Yes please that must follow, Yes to life.
We might name this your dialogue
with the pressure of reality through the power of your imagination,
Shaping your place in the world.
You will know its weight, but
it is your sweet weight,
Your joyful burden.
How goes your imaginative conversation with reality?
