72 Hours

Here is how my battle in freedom  was won.  I went to bed at 9pm without planning to be free.  The next day I awoke at 7am.  I was 10 hours free.  If only I could make the long drive into town, I would be 12 hours free.  I did not.  But I made it another hour, so I was 11 hours free that day.  Next day, I tried the same thing.  This time I made the trip free.  So, I was 12 hours free.  I thought, if I can be free  the next hour, I will be 13 hours free.  I was in class, so that was easy.  I made it.  Between classes I went on the internet and found others who seek freedom.  For 10 minutes I wondered about.  Then, I was in class for another 1 hour and could be free.  I was then 14 hours free.  I returned between classes to others on internet who seek freedom for 10 minutes.  Then, before the day was over, I was 16 hours free.  The 2 hour ride back home was easy.  Then, I started reading these writings of love and sharing.  I got lost in the computer before I realized that I was 24 hours free.  I called my best friends, Dancing flower and Big Soldier.  We celebrated with good wishes and feelings. 

I went to bed, looking forward to starting the day 32 hours free.  The second and third day started and ended the same.
