The Venture of Truth

There are times when we know we must come to an awareness of things.  These are not necessarily easy times, in fact, they rarely are, when we come to a place of knowing from which there is no return, when we break out of  “what was” to a new world before us.

Births are dramatic, they include pain and fear, they include wonder and worry, they include expansion and holding on for dear life.

When we open our lives to the new, to what will transform us or deepen us, we face an unknown that can be quite lonely, quite unnerving.

We need witness, someone or something that tells us we are welcome in this new way – someone or something that tells us we are what we’ve been waiting for – someone or something to tell us that we are not alone and that the continued journey will be met with unexpected abundance from far off places -- new things will appear and be made known to us.

This is the venture of truth.  This is the gift of life.
