...what would I say? The truth is sometimes easy to say, this I know. I do believe that some easy truths are best reserved for certain ears only. These are truths that preserve their power for being known by the fewest number possible. There are truths only to be known to doctors, lawyers and lovers.
There are truths that are harsh, so harsh that to utter them is to rend the fabric of life. These "unavoidable facts of our existence" can rip us apart, but they shouldn't be avoided. Putting it off too long can mean the difference between merely being beaten and utter implosion.
There are truths, the ones we should spend more time on, that are so beautiful that they can only be shared with fewer and fewer people, perhaps obtaining utter completeness when shared only between two people. These, too, should not be avoided. Share them as soon as possible, with another.
As cynical and skeptical as I can be, I nurse within my heart a desire for truth. I don't often let on that I believe that a major reason why we as human beings are on this planet is to share love, which I fancy sometimes to be the only Truth that really matters.
Shh. Don't tell anybody...but the Truth is, this cynical heart of mine really does believe in the truth of Love. I'm a softie that way.
And if anyone gives me any guff about it...I'll punch 'em inna head. With love, of course.

Oh how I tried to stick to the truth this past month with my little sister...but she can't handle it...maybe she went home with a few things to think about...I know I am...thinking...
ReplyDeletethe truth...yes.
ReplyDeletealways the truth
except for "do I look fat in this?"
then there are better ways to tell the truth
"My Lovely, that outfit brings out a softness in you" :)
your mileage may vary with that one though...
