Truth

Truthing...a word you won't find in the dictionary but one that the ancient Greeks used to use, and it refers to the act of truth telling.  This is almost a foreign concept, because everyone's "truth" seems to be acceptable, despite its subjectivity.  I am reading a remarkable book that indicates otherwise, that the truth is undeniable and trust worthy and readily available and testable.  I like this, because I believe in truth, truth telling, truthfull living...it lends itself to authenticity, genuine caring relationships and strength of character.  The truth is sometimes hard to say, hard to hear, hard to see, but when someone speaks it, somehow it is a relief, balm for the soul, undeniable.  It opens the door to change opportunities, to personal growth, the evolution of the spirit, to higher ground.  Truth detectors are everywhere, in each of us, and when we sniff the whiff of falsehood, it sets off alarm bells and gets us wondering how we have to protect ourselves from the encroaching of falsehood.  Truth is beautiful and powerful when used to serve others, heal old wounds, ensure trust in relationship. Truth, may I always hold you near and dear.
