A Freer Sky

"How much larger your life would be if [you] could become smaller in it. . . . You would begin to be interested in [others]. You would break out of this tiny . . . theatre in which your own little plot is always being played, and you would find yourself under a freer sky, in a street full of splendid strangers" (G.K. Chesterton).

This quote is my current goal. I didn't know how to express what I was feeling until I read this. But somehow I knew it was what I needed to do. I'm so glad I saw this quote today. I have been feeling stifled by myself, by my own tiny theatre as it were. I want a freer sky.
