That quality in people that enables them to be

defenseless, unfettered by ties of fear,

unchained by ideologies,

unchartered by predetermined goals;

powerless, lacking the will to impose or manipulate;

open, capable of being affected and shaped,

reachable, gateless, wall-less;

receptive, able to be reached and penetrated,

unlocked, unblocked, open-armed;

growing, undefined in any final way,

in constant process of definition;

wanton, foolishly exposed to life and

its crashing impact,

free!
