"What catches my attention? No one gets caught in quite the same way."
A simple conversation among plant aficionados reveals the diversity of text in a single plant alone. Many of us are immediately drawn to the color and fragrance of a bloom, others first notice the shape and texture of the foliage, others immediately notice the expansive community of plants this particular one requires to survive. There are languages layered over languages all speaking with eachother in the natural world.
"Now it is easy for me to distinguish between what is my truth and what is not. "
Love this! Is it a feeling or a sensation? Are you open to share more?
Here's a place to start... Think of a time that someone said something to you that offended you or hurt you and you just kept quiet or shut down. Why didn't you speak up? Ask "why" to that next response and go atleast 5 "why's" deep or until you find yourself super angry and annoyed with the exercise. Your truth begins there.
"There is a fear lurking behind not telling the radical truth."
I hear this, friens. This is where we can to be radically honest with ourselves. We learn to adapt to close our boundaries to those who are the stimulus to our childhood wounds. But radical honesty is sitting with and taking ownership of that fear. Beyond admitting that we have that fear, being honest why we let that fear live inside us. Is it part of our identity? Does it keep us connected to the ones who hurt us in hopes that one day they will apologize on some physical or metaphysical level. Honesty with the self has many layers.
Being disconnected from the self is an outcome of not being radically honest with the self. Radical honesty = connection
