Freebird Laura Muensterer

We often find ourselves feeling trapped, in chains with no place to escape. However, once we realize the cage is all in our head -- that we hold the key to everything our heart desires -- suddenly, we are no longer prisoners of our own mind and reality.

After you break through the cage -- overcome the doubt, fear and anxiety that have prevented you from experiencing life fully -- you will soon discover that freedom is not as far as you thought. In fact, freedom lived within you the whole time.

freebird dances through topics from relationships, the passing of time, self-love, self-judgment, the image myth, trust, betrayal, liberation, and ultimately freedom. The poetry book culminates with the poem titled freebird. The "freebird" is one who sees through the human illusion and casts off the delusions of ego, societal expectation, and self-criticism. It does all this to finally be able to fly.
