In the USA, many people are traveling this summer, as they feel they have come out of a jail. In spite of dealing with higher prices, the oppressive heat, long lines, and traffic jams, they feel they are free. We leave our palace where we are kings and queens and become part of a herd. We stayed indoors because we had to, and now, we are going out among the crowds. When we are told to do something, we feel imprisoned. In school, I was told to cut my hair short. I hated it. I still cut my hair short but now, I prefer it. When we choose to love God, we sit in silence, contemplate on the teachings, serve, be nice to others, and all the good stuff because it is our choice. It is only then that we enjoy. — Satish Daryanani
