Relief from Truth

Relief can come from a middle of the night phone call

What does relief feel like for you dear reader? I have heard it described as a weight being lifted from the shoulders; being able to breath again; a lightness in the heart. Relief can come in the form of cool water on a hot day, either in a glass or an ocean. Relief can come when someone appears at your door, someone you have been longing to see. Relief can come from a middle of the night phone call. You fill in the ___________ dear reader. Relief can also come when truth is finally spoken and heard: there is an ah yes feeling to this experience. It is a relief to have confirmation that what has been suspected and felt for perhaps decades, is finally confirmed.

Truth whispers into the ear of the driver

I have this image of truth running around town, jumping on buses and sitting next to passengers. Some passengers notice truth and swat with get away from me hands. Others tilt their heads, listening intently, longing to hear every syllable. Truth weaves its way in and out of seats and the isle, visiting each person their, including the driver. Hopping off at stops, truth spots cars idling at red lights and pours itself in through open windows or through the vents. Truth hangs out with the driver, listening quietly to thoughts and muttered words. Truth whispers into the ear of the driver and a smile lights his face while in the car next to him, a frown appears-truth is visiting there too. Truth then flies into the radio, making announcements to listeners via airwaves on multiple stations. Many switch stations, listening for something more palpable. Others sit transfixed, mesmerized by the crystalline purity of truth perceived.

Some cover their ears trying to block out the resounding truth

Many someones tried to bury truth
Truth travels to grave sights, hospitals and back through time to homes with families living there. Someone, many someones, tried to bury truth, to throw it into the grave with the dead but it did not work. Truth resurrected. It could not be buried, held to lifelessness. It rose and whispered and spoke until it screamed and was heard by all. Some covered their ears trying to block out the resounding truth, still unwilling to accept. Others fell to their knees and begged for more Truth and begged again, please never leave me.

Truth can be breathed in and exhaled out

Truth is justice. Truth is undeniable. Truth is the backbone of every integrity filled Godly human. Truth is God revealed and experienced. Truth is life everlasting. Truth can be breathed in and exhaled out and it is everywhere at all times. Human, do you seek it as though it is your life line, or deny it as though it were the plague?
