Truth - Unbudging and Unpredictable

The truth most often just sits there...waiting for us. There are exceptions to every rule, of course, especially since truth rides above and beneath and around things like rules. At times it barges in on us. But generally, the truth is simply patient, beckoning but only softly until we collide with it enough to recognize our need for it. And, then, it pierces us like a dagger because it has tied itself into something we really want. We are changed by it, but often not in many of the ways we expect or want it to. It gives us something far more valuable, perhaps most poignantly in its invitation to pursue it further. And, in that endeavor, something about us changes...as we pursue its pursuit of us. Like a river it flows, whether we notice it or not, but when we do, we are mesmerized. Called. Enlivened. Changed.
