I just set them free…….

I just set them free…….

Yesterday I went on a date. We had an amazing time together, enjoyed each other’s company, and laughed a lot along the way while going on the drive and enjoying the spectaculars views of Dun Laoghaire. We do have a connection.

While walking and talking and chatting and some more walking and talking and chatting and all that in between, we came across to a boy/a man who was in the middle of an activity, a very profound one, a very interesting one, a very enjoyable one.

We all were standing on the rocks above the sea level and looking down at the sea. 

This boy/man had bait put down in the sea in which the bacon was trapped and he was simply trying to get and catch a crab. A big white crab.

While he was doing what he was doing, we were having a conversation with him and between us. We went back and forth. We were asking him questions. I asked him how long he had been there already.

At one point I asked him the following question: ‘And what are you going to do with this crab once you caught him’? To which he replied that he would just let him go, he would just let him go free, he would just set him free back into the wild open sea again.

And I liked his answer. And I begin being fascinated by the whole incident.

How many times do we hold people prisoners in our own heart?

How many times do we hold ourselves prisoners in our very own heart?

What is it about setting ourselves free?

What is it about setting others free?

What is there to gain?

What is there for us?

What is there for our prisoner?

Are we doing if just for a pure joy of it?

Are we just having fun?

Are we just enjoying the moment?

Are we just embracing the whole act?

Are we just capturing the whole incident?

Are we just grateful for the entire process?

Are we just in awe of the whole thing?

Is it not beautiful how the nature never rushes yet everything is finished, everything is done, everything is completed, everything is accomplished?

What is there for us if we decided to keep our catch, to keep our treasure?

Is it just the feeling we are after?

Is it just the scenery we are hungry for?

Is it just the sense we gain by doing so?

Is it just the fleeting moment that has been given to us by taking such an action?

Is it just the sensation we are craving for?

Is it just the delicatesy we are starving for?

Whatever the main reason is, we certainly have one.

We are all individuals.

We are all characters.

We are all creatures.

We are all love.

We are all conscious beings.

We are all souls.

Any and every single person would look for his/her own meaning of releasing the captured soul, the captured individual, the captured character, the captured creature, the captured love, the captured conscious being.

If you really, really want to love someone, to really adore someone, to really appreciate someone, to really cherish someone, to really like someone, you must love them then in such a way that the other person feels completely and utterly free. Free from yourself.

If you love someone, set them free. If they return back to you, they were always yours. If they do not return, they never were meant to be with you in the first place.

Set them free. Set them free! Set them free!!
