Fritz Perls

I do my thing and you do your thing
I am not in the world to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to mine
You are you and I am I
If by any chance we find each other, it's beautiful
If not, it can't be helped
Perls 1969

To start the process I have developed something I have called 'The Five Freedoms' -

• The freedom to see and hear what is here instead of what should be, was or will be.
• The freedom to say what one feels and thinks, instead of what one should.
• The freedom to feel what one feels, instead of what one ought.
• The freedom to ask for what one wants, instead of always waiting for permission.
• The freedom to take risks in one's own behalf, instead of choosing to be only 'secure' and not rocking the boat.
