Entry One, Journal, Monday - September 20

David Foster Wallace in This is Water writes, "... of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talked about in the great outside world of winning and achieving and displaying ...".

Freedom is a state about which we all sense we understand and know much. In the film Water, Chuyia is a young girl who loses, in a manner, her freedom. In 1930s India, many widows found themselves in a similar reality. Considering the idea and sense of freedom, tell of a time/a moment wherein you experienced freedom. Feel free to also freestyle on Wallace's ruminations.
