Truth can be divisive, polarising . We risk losing belonging to a family, a community or a collective built on pretence and performance when we speak truth. This threat of rejection can keep us stuck in dishonesty, and silent out of fear.

Truth is uncomfortable for those who have not built the capacity to hold it. Truth is the enemy of oppressors and systems that thrive on our ignorance, complacency and fear.

Truth is a muscle we grow into. As we open to truth, and allow the discomfort of truth to move through us, we grow into our capacity to know ourselves, form true relationships and be an active part of true, meaningful community.

Anything lost when we speak truth and live by truth was false, fleeting and illusory. Truth cannot be lost, it is a firm foundation upon which we can grow, and it is an anchor on which we can depend, and deepen into trust.

See you next week,
