What pleases me is freedom \u2013
the key given to each soul,
an invitation to willing captivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tender soul,
making itself my captive,
captivates me
as it walks into the cell,
locks the door behind it, eagerly,
and, reaching its arms through the iron bars,
throws the key far out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The little souls \u2013
some are quite impulsive \u2013
throw their keys with all their might.
They remind me of mother,
which isn’t surprising…
she taught me to throw when I was a child.
From mother,
the great economist of the heart,
I learned that keys are made
to be thrown away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, she learned it from Father.
Father was the first to lock himself in,
to throw His key away…
with His back to the door
and a grin on His face,
He launched it over His shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was so proud of mother
when she threw away her key.
\u201cThat\u2019s my girl,\u201d he said.
\u201cThat’s my girl.
Have you ever seen such an arm?\u201d he asked me.
\u201cWhere did you get such a mother, anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This business of throwing keys away \u2013
it wasn’t my idea, really,
though Father and Spirit like to say
that is all began with me.
It\u2019s a conspiracy of praise on their part,
to which I willingly submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Father knew what He was doing
when He invented keys,
and when He sent me among men
to show them how to throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For men,
throwing away a key
is not such an obvious thing to do.
Having been a man,
I understand this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there are many souls
throwing their keys with eager haste
and I throw with them.
Side by side
we laugh
and throw away the keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
