Speak your truth

Speak your truth.
"Speak your truth", "be straight", "tell it how it is", "say what's on your mind",
All great advice, except, do you know your truth?
Do we really know our real mind? Do we know "how it really is?"
Often it helps to express our feelings, but we must be aware of what will be constructive and what will break down communication and widen separation.
The concept of communication is to commune, to become one, to live together in harmonious relationship.
Any word of anger, or negativity, may, when blurted out cause defensive or offensive responses and cause the fire of animosity to blaze with more ferocity.
Awareness is always the key. We must first reclaim awareness, reclaim a silent and peaceful mind; look at the situation that is evoking our need to comment from as subjective a stance as we can.

Let us honor our emotions, yet through a clear mind we will know how to speak, rather than what to say, to resolve any apparent dilemma.
An honest word spoken of sadness or anger, when spoken without attack, from a quiet heart, will foster empathy and understanding.
Sometimes silence itself will bring about an atmosphere of acceptance and diffuse any negativity that in the initial moment was just re action, an ego based response of fear and the need to protect its fragile identity.

May we speak our truth calmly without blame or attack, with intent to create union and mutual benefit, or be silent, find peace within, know that truth need not always be spoken as truth is the reality in which are immersed, should we choose to be aware.

Speak to your TRUTH, and let the day and all you meet have a truly beautiful you.
