To be free isn’t to remove the weight but to be with the weight. When a person jumps into water, the water does not reject the person. The water envelopes them. It fits the person into itself.

The burden in our lives does not stop us from being free. Our relationship to the burden stops us from being free. Burden, like all else, is fuel for becoming more free.

The weight of burden is a reminder to bring our attention back to the moment. The moment is where true freedom exists. That is: the connection to true authentic selves, the infinite well of joy.

To return to the moment by not getting trapped in the crushing weight of burden – ooh, wow! What freedom one has!
