Taming Freedom: The Goshawk's Journey
This chapter examines the delicate process of training a free mind, using the metaphor of falconry to illustrate the manipulation and expectations placed upon both the creature and its master. It explores themes of identity, autonomy, and societal judgment, alongside a reflection on personal transformations and the struggle for self-acceptance.
