The truth is like a fire, and very fuckin' few of us enjoy gettin' burned. BUT...beyond that; to be burned by my own truth. To allow my own truth to sear itself on my soul. Here is the hands down, meanin' & purpose of my existence. But ordinary life can be the easier & more attractive alternative. Friends, family and the commitments they bring, can allow me opportunity to take the focus off of the truths i don't wish to see.
We can safely avoid the quest after our own truths our whole lives. We can stay asleep in the coolness of ordiary life. But truths fire might awaken us yet, with it's vicious stings. Compelin' us to live our lives in it's heat & light. Helpin' us to walk thru these fires
and not get burned.
