"Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above; Don't fence me in. Let me ride through the wide open country that I love; Don't fence me in." Those words in the song "Don't Fence Me In" by Cole Porter and Robert Fletcher are beloved by many, and have been covered by the likes of: Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Willie Nelson, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr, David Byrne, and even Elle Fitzgerald.
Often we are put in a box, made to check a box on a government form, or labeled by others, but is that really who we are? I for one don't like to be put in a box. When we believe others and allow ourselves to be put in boxes and labeled, our world narrows and we start believing things that aren't true.
If we are to be our authentic self, we must learn to throw off the labels and judgement of others and ride under the starry skies above like a lone cowboy of the old west. In this episode I discuss how you can start doing that so you can start to hear the "murmur of the cottonwood trees" and "gaze at the moon till [you] lose your senses" without and hovels and fences.
