About The Education

Jori Sailing

Build me no cage
With bars made of expectations
and "Thou shalt not”s
Teach me to breathe
Teach me to see
With eyes unencumbered by your dreams
Eyes uncluttered by hopes -- that once were yours
Let me be
Let me walk towards my freedom
Be with me
is what I ask--
All I ask.
                               -Meinir Davies, 2007
