You know what? I am disgustingly independent of everything except the need for money to keep body and soul together. So I can't say I'd declare independence from anything in particular, or anyone, for that matter.
I suppose if it was "freedom" from things, I would like to wish everyone freedom of awareness, compassion and understanding, so that some of the ills that plague humanity might resolve themselves naturally. Freedom to love and be loved. Freedom to be free in our skins.
What I celebrate on Independence Day is my ability to think and express myself, to wear what I like, to drive a car, to love who I wish, to be educated and employ myself with things that nourish my spirit. I hope that someday everyone can celebrate that.
