We learn, growing up, that there is truth.

It is what helps bond together family               community                  societies                                              and more –

but it was carved from the idea that we had to and effortlessly could, fit into a collective single answer.

Truth is often a lumpy circle. Pushed back and forth in playful games, it hides, grows, or shrinks from you.

Truth grabs compassion and lies to you, by convincing you that all ideas matter. It’s all good.

To search, and to fail for truth
