Whimsical Art Free To Be Finding one's path can require the courage to leave behind forever what is known for what is unknown. Here, a bird escapes through an open window into the darkness. A more distant window beakens where the daylight beyond the darkness reveals others who have already made this journey, soaring free in the azure sky.
