There’s been a question that’s come up.  And that question seems to be essential to this practice of spiritual and emotional recovery work.  And that question is, “Do we have the courage to stand in the midst of the ashes of a life built upon the lies of others, and to allow our truth to express itself…even if we have no idea of what that truth is at the time?”

Not the stories.  Not the hopes.  Not the ideas of the way things are, or how they should be with us or the world.

Just the truth as it is, without the need or desire for it to be anything else.

This is some of the hardest and most essential work we’ll ever be called upon to do.  It can shatter everything.  And that’s why so many of us will die without completing it.  Sadly, there are a good many of us who will die without ever attempting it in the first place…
