We all want what we want.
When we try to settle on what we have or on what other people tell us we should have, the truth is there.
Sometimes we manage to push it deep down in the recesses of our hearts and minds but in spite of ourselves our truth struggles to be acknowledged and fulfilled.
The great and terrible things about truth is that it has a way of nagging the soul and tickling the conscience, keeping us uneasy and unhappy unless and until we live it.
Those of us who are lucky one day find, like the sliver that emerges from the depth of a festering finger, the truth has risen. Though we are nervous and a little uncomfortable watching it emerge, as we pull out and examine it we recognize what it is and what it means.
Like the sliver and the finger, though it pains us, we must each eventually learn that living truth, whatever that truth may be, is much healthier and happier than continuously plunging it back to the depths.
What truth have you been avoiding and why?
