The incarceration of the one you love and yourself seems timely, there is always an entity that will apply control to that which has gone off course or broken the law. When incarceration becomes institutionalised we forget how to guide ourselves and remember that we can be in a better place. A better place is where you have more control, you never have complete control.

The fact that one (you) are partially free yet mostly not and the other (the love) has lost all freedom means that to become free again love must be freed. Yet for love to free itself it shouldn’t be externalised and boxed in. There is no complete freedom, there is no complete love, there is only the internal need to be connected to a better reality.

If you have love within nobody can take it away from you (the one) and then you can be mostly freed from the burden of love (the prisoner) that can’t be with you. All in all you have to free yourself and control yourself because control gets applied from outside yourself when it isn’t applied internally.
