First Taste of Freedom – Inspiring… And Enlightening Too!

Imagine your first day in a totally foreign place. Everything is different and there are no longer any boundaries restricting your movement. How would you respond… With caution? With excitement? With uncertainty?

When the only life you’ve known is changed there’s certainly an adjustment period. These animals are given their first taste of freedom and it’s exciting to watch.

Although I was happy for these animals, I couldn’t help but think that as humans we sometimes feel trapped in a cage too. As I watched I imagined myself being freed from all the things that confine me, and I began to realize that many of them are within my control. That was a bit of an awakening! I hope this inspires you to consider what’s confining you too.
