Kenoli, I am wondering what your thoughts are about "truth"--> relative truth, absolute truth, truth for the moment???? I agree it is powerful and I know my personal experience when I hear a "truth" and yet I cannot define what truth is.

Truth is incredibly powerful, and the deeper the truth, the more powerful. We need to tell our truths about ourselves, too, and about the costs that may come from accepting any particular set of constraints, or the costs we may have already paid. Telling the truth can be used to justify not so desirable situations, also, when we do not feel free to act. Truth is most powerful when it is given with authenticity and openness to honoring free choice within the existing constraints. Can we honor our freedom and right and responsibility to act to determine our futures, as well as to talk about them? Can we take full responsibility?
