+*+*+*+*+
Truth is actuality,
It's validation and a fact,
Uttered in sincerity,
Forthrightly or with tact.

There is truth in a maxim,
In an adage and a mot,
Veracity in dictums,
And in proverbs that we know.

Platitudes and cliches,
Trite epigrams, and saws,
Mottoes and the gospels,
Precepts and canon laws.

Be precise in the telling,
Lest karma come forsooth,
See and hear; speak and write,
Not falsehoods but the truth.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Linda, I agree ever so much and it saddens me to see too many trusting only other man's credences and "evidence" they so call it when Truth can only be known through His Word! My grandma would always rock me in her lap when I was a boy and sing these songs of God to me I still remember fairly well and that is how I just know He is the Truth, because I just look at how well she lives and how healthy she is and how the light always seeps into her kitchen, that immaculate light! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, you shine with a halo of wisdom, we all love you so much, ooohhhhhhh...and thank you for the early birhday card, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

to bad some folks dont know that the truth will set you free....when we hide from the truth, what sadness it brings.

Yep, death and taxes--and Karma! Mind you, the "K" word can be a very good thing as well! Ye shall reap as ye shall sow!

Sow well and live well!

Ah, yes! Avoidance of the truth! Sometimes the truth does hurt but no matter how hard me may way to avoid or bury it at times ~  it eventually finds its way to the surface!
