Revealing Your Golden Truth
The source of truth within can be seen and felt when you have softened – when your heart is open and your mind is calm. This knowing comes through in those times to show you the truth of who you are, your authentic nature, and loving being, and your intrinsic ability to hold everything that was, is and will be in your life. Those moments when you feel the grace and beauty of the world around you, and the love that infuses and surrounds you sweet one. These are the moments that reveal the reality – the truth of your reason for being – your precious existence in this moment in time, and you become aware that all that you see, know and experience is for you. Even in the moments when the dark has come and blocked the light, there is still a flicker of truth waiting in the wings to be revealed – to be seen. Feelings of resistance, sadness, fear, and overwhelm come upon you, linger, and darken your mind, and all you want is the pure light of truth and freedom from pain yet grace and wisdom will reveal that the darkness had much to show you before the light could shine again.
The definition of truth (noun) from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary is: a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality; of being in accord with fact or reality; the body of real things, events, and facts; sincerity in action, character, and utterance.
Mary Oliver’s poem, “Wild Geese” offers wisdom and simplicity on coming to know your truth. This is an excerpt from her beautiful poem:
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Your journey is not about amassing possessions or money, twisting yourself into different versions of who you think you are or should be. It is about awakening to the truth of who you are, to the pure essence of being, the universal source that is connected to everything – to your allied purpose in this time and space. Whether you know it or not your presence here is a gift to the world sweet one. You are the light shining for all – you are the beacon of love holding vigil for the whole. Can you hear the inner ring of truth in these words sweet one? The place within you that is saying yes to this truth – yes to this experience.
