There are places I do not go. I needn't. My history fits rather nicely into that of "just another woman in the world." No lies are necessary, and so, aren't told. The truth of being oneself trumps those concerns I have read of for many years now. The key: to speak the heart and allow it to be there for others to see, or not, as they choose.

It is simply a matter of choosing whether to take the heading I have been taught, or the heading that presents itself in authenticity and relationship. What I think I have seen on bbs today and in the past is the overwhelming fear of a truthful honesty, one that presents the reality of the soul rather than the reality of the ways we are taught to think. Arguments over Truth are for those who require a constant guidebook on honesty and integrity. Sometimes those are only for people who read a how-to book on life and love, feeling and responsibility.
