Here are some questions to get you started thinking about the truth and it's role in your life:
I am afraid
to express the truth because...
The feelings I believe I have to hide are...
I lie about...
I don't tell myself the truth about....
The agreements I tend to break are...
I started to hide my feelings when...
The lie that Išve believed to be true about myself is...
I learned to lie...
I don't let others know the truth about...
When I lied, I hoped to get...
The truth I am afraid to tell myself is...
When I express the truth my body feels...
I first split off from my true self...
Truths I share with some people, but not with my partner are...
The lie that I've believed is true about my family is...
When I lie or withhold, my body feels...
The Wayfarer
The wayfarer,
Perceiving the pathway to truth,
Was struck by astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.
'Ha,' he said, 'I see that none has passed here
In a long time.'
Later he saw that each weed
Was a singular knife.
'Well,' he mumbled at last,
'Doubtless there are other roads.'~Stephen Crane
Truth
Mine has
always been a silent world
So words have not been easy.
And words have been easy.
As easy as words.
As another lie; oh, I have lied.
And I have denied.
And then I denied that I denied.
I have invented myself so many times
so that others would believe I was who they thought
I was, and I suppose, so that I, too, would believe.
And also for no particular reason.
Oh, I have lied.
And that is the truth.
