The Road
I wish I had written more here to keep you all updated on the craziest, most wonderful experience! Touring is unlike anything else. Especially touring as a non-profit. We are not just partying and spreading fun like it’s free. We have rough days, llittle sleep, not so nutritious foods, and just random moments that make this kind of journey so utterly indescribable. But at least if I had been a bit more faithful you could have gotten a sense of what this whole thing is like.
Each day there is a choice. I can wake up and do a job or I can wake up and unleash passion and knowledge. It’s not always easy to make the right choice, because of sheer exhaustion. But in the end defs not here for me. Defs not here for a job. I’m here because I was chosen. I was privileged enough to speak on behalf of a people so far and so distant and yet so utterly soaked into my heart. I can hardly contain my thankfulness sometimes that I would be selected to join this revolution, to share in this reliance, to act in this movement. And then to think that I can’t give it all becuase I’m tired. That would be simply stupid.
So regardless of what the night or the day holds I speak. I shout it out. I am on the offensive rising up an army of young activists to bring about the one things we all are hoping for. Not just liberty in North Korea. It is a beyond even that . This is about freedom to the very core. Not just financial, physical, or something tangible. This is freedom in the heart. I fight every day for a North Korea, for a world, full of people that can embrace the freedom whispered to them from before time. Freedom to be themselves, to be without worry or fear of judgement, freedom to love. Even if we bring a citizen from North Korea to a free land, they may not really feel free to be themselves. But spreading love, spreading grace, and mercy this shall truly liberate us all. Liberate us to accept others, to love others, to love ourselves and be confident in who we are and who others were created to be. Through the fight, through the battle we see our truest self emerge and we realize the sameness in us all. In those moments, as we stand alongside others, a passion unites and binds that cannot be severed. For as we fight for love we become free. Free to accept ourselves, free to accept others. This is love; without conditions, without exclusion. This is freedom. The truest path to freedom is a road paved in love.
