“right now there seems to be a huge current about speaking and living in truth. it’s amazing to me how alive it is. for me personally, it’s a spiritual truth… personal “identity” and divine connection sort of thing (nothing big!!). i see that ALIVE pulse around me in many forms. vocationally, politically, civicly, etc. do you notice this in your neck of the woods?”

“A phrase that has been keeping me company and guiding many of my choices in the past few months is one I learned from my friends at LIOS: “conversations of love and truth”–
and intersecting with that lately is the frequent realization that the truth is *always* bigger than I know (maybe bigger than I can know!). Recently, I have been in situation after situation where I create an interpretation of a situation, or I hear someone’s version of a story, and I believe it, till I hear someone else’s completely contradictory version of the same situation…so I have been imagining “what if I didn’t believe all of my thoughts?”, a practice I gleaned from an astrologer friend I think you might enjoy (Eric Francis, at http://www.planetwaves.net), and have been learning to be more comfortable dwelling in uncertainty!”
