The opposite of enslaved is ... free

opposite of controlled is ... free

opposite of exploited is....free

opposite of sold is ..... FREE

Belle knows that in order to release the powers that were stolen from her she needs to live a life defined by freedom, regardless of the perspective. Every act, breath and thought will begin and end from this point of departure. The Goddess cannot support any other manifestation, the air around Belle must be purified of such currents.

Colleagues and friends are not investments they do not need to show a return to justify her love and support of them.

They are flowers running wild in a garden, a pride of lions, a flock of birds - their health and beauty under the loving care of Belle's magic and attention is justification to her. Belle gains power from nurturing them - and Herself - and seeing the stunning results.

Belle's mother lives under the sea - Belle speaks to her in dreams. Belle needs silence and space to reach her. Belle maintains an invisible circle around her. no man or woman may cross that boundary and enter.

she adorns the edges of the circle with gifts and the bones of her conquests to appease the gods of greed and need who stalk her.

Full fathom five
thy father lies
of his bones are coral made
those are pearls that were his eyes.
