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!
