Slippers on her feet

Weariness knocks on a door

Coffee in her cup

When I think about the beach, I immediately picture the beaches of my youth. I grew up spending many days playing in the surf of the Gulf of Mexico on the north Florida coast. The sand is soft and white because of pure white quartz crystal washing down from the Appalachian Mountains and depositing in the Gulf. Having seen it my entire life, I know I take it for granted. The beauty of it is spectacular. In the spring, the water is still cool, and the seaweed is nonexistent so with the height of the sun and the clarity of the water, the water color is an incredible turquoise. that I have never seen anything like it anywhere else.

Do you believe the truth always comes out? Has the truth ever set you free?

The trouble I see is that truth is true from multiple perspective. Facts are how events unfold or the literal interpretation of appearance. But truth – that is subjective. What is true is not something that is conveyed in many situations. Truth from a single perspective is mostly what shows up. So, no. I don’t believe the truth is always told and yet somehow my truth has freed me from past problems. Persuasion plays a huge role in what truth is told. Be persuasive is the lesson.
